Originally intended for release in January of 1990. Finally a full length album (now deleted). The perfect soundtrack for a Sci-fi movie; mostly slow and dreamy, but 3 and 5 are Kraftwerkian. According to an article in Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet (Nov 27th, 1990) by Kjell Häglund, the planning for this album took three years, it took 1,5 years to record it, and another year to come up with a suitable cover. Stefan Ahnhem (script writer) and Pelle Folkesson (at the time working as 'product developer' at D-Drum): 'We've been working with Klas Lunding ever since the Mekano days, and I guess this is a very important project to him emotionally. Our roots are David Sylvian, Eno, Kraftwerk, Rupert Hine. Above all we mix total seriousness and humour. If there's a sci-fi program on TV we watch it and sample some of the sounds.' - Jonas Wårstad ▲

When listening the tracks that bring to mind images of clouds and landscapes with a depth that was very characteristic of underground synth music back in the 90's I immeadiatelly got in touch with his then girlfriend Cecilia and the deal was done. Airwaves was the name of this project and here I present you "Ambient Tracks" . Don't be fooled by the archival nature of the title. This is a total work of depth and a window to discover mid-90's synth works. This release was originaly recorded back in 1994 and 20 years from there I want to make this little tribute to an excellent Mexican artist. - Oracle Netlabel

Voyager II swept past the Neptune system on August 24-25, 1989. Neptune's atmosphere proved surprisingly active, with wind velocities clocked at over 700 MPH. This dynamic climactic activity is powered by Neptune's internal heat, which provides over twice as much energy as the feeble sunlight that the planet receives. Neptune has eight moons and three rings, as well as a highly tilted and offset magnetic field. Neptune's electromagnetic environment is surprising. It is inclined to the planetary axis by 47°. Periodic pulses of radio energy were also recorded, generated by rotation of the planet's deep interior. Neptune's lovely blue color is a result of methane, helium and hydrogen gasses in its atmosphere. The picture of Neptune on the cover of this CD features the great dark spot, which is accompanied by white clouds that undergo rapid changes in appearance. To the south of the great dark spot is the bright feature that scientist's nicknamed "scooter". Still further to the south is the feature called "Dark Spot 2", which has a bright core. For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine - article entitled "Collisionless Shock Waves". - discogs

Suite of 6 records 10-inch 33 1/3 rpm black vinyl with black labels. Side 1 and Side 2 repeat or describe each other. 36 min. total duration. The 45s form a large circle on a pointed yellow or red wall, as if they were planets themselves in our galaxy. Each record has to be played in order to locate from our memory what planet each record might suggest. The records are made up of found musical recording, from sci-films that have been remixed to suggest to the viewer what planet he or she might be listening to. Since 90% of the universe is in total blackness, and one needs a telescope to reveal what is out there, through meditation – one has to play the record to locate its identity – Jack Goldstein. via LUXmovingimage
bio. Canadian performance and conceptual artist, painter and filmmaker, born 27 September 1945 in Montreal, Canada and died 14 March 2003, San Bernadino, California, USA. A performance artist with roots in minimalist sculpture, a conceptual artist who made experimental films and their audio equivalent on vinyl records, Goldstein divided his time between Los Angeles and New York during the 1970s, eventually becoming one of the linchpins of the Pictures Group, which gained its first recognition at Artist's Space in New York City in the fall of 1977. Goldstein may be remembered for a certain conceptual/representational approach to picturemaking that helped shape a generation of artists and beyond, even though they might not even be aware of him. discography

プログレッシヴ・ロック〜ダブ〜ニューエイジ・エレクトロニクスを煮詰めた、テクニカルで強靭なトランス・グルーヴで、レイヴ・シーン〜アンビエント・ハウスとも呼応したUKのインストゥルメンタル・スペースロック・グループOzric Tentacles（オズリック・テンタクルズ）による1988年カセット作。Gong/Steve Hillage（スティーヴ・ヒレッジ）ヒッピイズムの誇大妄想遺伝子。 bio. A band from another time, Ozric Tentacles served as the bridge from '70s cosmic rock to the organic dance and festival culture which came back into fashion during the '90s. Formed in 1983 with a debt to jazz fusion as well as space rock, the band originally included guitarist Ed Wynne, drummer Nick Van Gelder, keyboard player Joie Hinton, bassist Roly Wynne and second guitarist Gavin Griffiths (though Griffiths left in 1984). The Ozrics played in clubs around London, meanwhile releasing six cassette-only albums beginning with 1984's Erpsongs. (All six were later collected on the Vitamin Enhanced box set, despite a threatened lawsuit from the Kellogg's cereal company for questionable artwork.) In 1987, Merv Pepler replaced Van Gelder, and synthesizer player Steve Everett was also added. Ozric Tentacles' first major release, the 1990 album Erpland, foreshadowed the crusty movement, a British parallel to America's hippy movement of the '60s. Crusties borrowed the hippies' organic dress plus the cosmic thinking of new agers, and spent most of their time traveling around England to various festivals and outdoor gatherings. The movement fit in perfectly with bands like Ozric Tentacles and the Levellers, and the Ozrics' 1991 album Strangeitude became their biggest seller yet, occasioning a U.S. contract with Capitol. After the British-only Afterswish and Live Underslunky, 1993's Jurassic Shift hit number 11 on the British charts -- quite a feat for a self-produced album released on the Ozrics' own Dovetail label. The album was released in America by I.R.S. Records, as was 1994's Arborescence. Neither album translated well with American audiences -- despite the band's first U.S. tour in 1994 -- and Ozric Tentacles returned to its Dovetail label for 1995's Become the Other. Waterfall Cities closed out the decade in 1999, and the following summer the group resurfaced with Swirly Termination. Hinton and Pepler also perform in the trance-techno outfit Eat Static, and have released several albums on Planet Dog Records. Ozric Tentacles surfaced in 2000 to release Hidden Step, followed by the EP Pyramidion. In 2002, Live at the Pongmasters Ball came out on both CD and DVD, making it their first venture into the latter. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide via ARTISTdirect Music

70年代中期より米シカゴを拠点に活動開始、70年代後期より実験的な電子音楽グループVCSRで活動した後、自身のプライベートレーベル、レインフォレスト・プロダクションズから自然の風景や神秘を題材にソロ作を発表している音楽家ビルリビン・ヴァーメット。1980年代初頭のカセット「Environ-Mental」や95年「Emocean」のタイトルが示すように、精神や感情（Mental/Emo）と環境（Environ-）を交信させるニューエイジ的世界観を感じさせる作風です。活動初期を含む音源がアーカイヴされた本作は、胸を締めつけられるようなメランコリーや旅情を内包するヴィンテージ・コスミック。カセットレーベルFIELD STUDIESよりリリース。 In the late 70s Bil Vermette set out to harness new synth technology and the evolving vocabulary of electronic music to realize his own internal music. Selected from a collection of rediscovered recordings, “Archives I” brings light to the early environments and motifs that would reappear in his private-press LP “Katha Visions” and later self-released works. Through these quiet, late night home studio reflections and short themes for film, join Bil on his long trail to Katha.
