What the hell did the people at Marlboro (yes the stupid cowboy ciggies) think when they teamed up with Virgin to establish a label and sign someone so gentle and esoteric like Andreas von Wangenheim? Change the whole cowboy image by releasing New Age music??

Whatever they thought - it's just fantastic that they released these wonderful songs. Calling it "all killer, no filler" doesn't really fit the New Age vibe, huh? But hey it's Marlboro :)  and it's shotgun recommended! And you might recognize one of the key tracks from my Dezember mix for testpressing from a few years ago.

Wonderful cover picture by Ed van der Elsken that always reminds me of the most touching compliment I ever got for DJing. When playing at the wedding of one of my art history teachers in the late 90s the widow of Ed van der Elsken came up to me and thanked me for the music.

"Ghosts of Industrial Sunday" is a short film by Maria Assunta Karini and Francesco Paolo Paladino, whose music were composed by Simon Fisher Turner (Deux Filles, Jeremy's Secret, The King Of Luxemburg, SFT). This release consists of a video DVD, which contains the film, and a audio CD that features the original soundtrack and other compositions inspired by this project that Turner created on purpose; they are accompanied by an oversize 20 pages booklet that offers some images taken from the film and delves more into the concept behind it.

The music created by Turner as a soundtrack to the film expresses a delicate tranquillity through notes of piano which are just mottled by the electronic elements in the background, while an unspoken sense of drama hovers in the air and the circular motion of the composition gradually absorbs the listener.

In other words ...

Bored ears will dance to this. The modern classical parts have a lot of humour and the ambient / reichy parts  are perfect for zoning out!!

Style: Emotional Eso

Format: LP
Label: RASH

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG

I call this a wonderfull and emotional album. Can't say if this is ambient jazz or new age ;)  But in the end I don't care about words anyway. It's those shivers the music gives me. My fave is Venedig (Venezia) just as elegant as romantical. But check out Wald, Sommernachtstraum and Samba Pronto as well. They're all in the clip!!

Like new copy of this ambient Jazz record. Very quiet and calming for a "Free Jazzer".  Ungoogleable Private Pressing. Perfect music for the night (don't forget to get some strong red wine - I recommend a Primitivo from Puglia)
