'John Elliott of Emeralds presents another dazzling solo opus following the Imaginary Softwoods LP, pressed up on cloudy clear vinyl, housed in beautiful glossy sleeve and limited to 650 copies for the universe. With 'Outer Space' Elliott effectively continues the studies of mid 20th century electronic music composers such as Nik Pascal and Laurie Spiegel, translating the potential of pure electrical signal into a sublime meditational tool, converting electricity into acoustic pressure, attempting to find the melody of physics. He's worked for three years on this album, eschewing the use of digital synthesizers and arpeggiation to sculpt analogue waves into an ocean of sound whose unfathomable depth couldn't be achieved without this deeply personal method of practice. With an array of synths, his melancholy milky way plumes elicit intrepid moods for the astral wanderer, cast off into the almost violent darkness of 'Quartz Synthesizer' to arrive at the tranquility of 'The Planck Era' six tracks later, dazed yet revitalised' - some distro hype
new-ish full length from the knob twiddler of emeralds. sold out i think. 320 rips!
