Style: 4th World / Organic Ambience

Format: LP
Label: Protopost

Year: 2023

Condition: M/M 

After a growing bin records debut and an album on Séance Centre, Shelter comes with a new label and album.

A collection of improvisational electronic mantras, premiered earlier this year on NTS, where Parisian artist Alan Briand explores odd meters, Indian-inspired drum cycles and expansive drone harmonics. It's a dreamed folklore, reminiscent of Hariprasad Chaurasia and Charanjit Singh's Eternity, John Hassel's fourth world or Craig Leon's Nommos. The LP blurs the line between organic and synthesis where drum machines melt into surreal harmonium textures and programming is indistinguishable from improvisation. Ships tomorrow!

Quiet Sun was something like a british progressive super-group consisting of Bill MacCormick, Charles Hayward, Dave Jarrett & Phil Manzanera.

At the time this album was recorded (January 1975), the band didn't exist anymore since 4 years. It was reunited by Manzanera to record a track for his first solo album Diamond Head. The band then took the opprtunity of these sessions, and the studio time booked by Manzanera, to record some of their old material and release it on an album. The got Eno to fiddle with the synths too. Great shit all around!
