There Is A New Arp Album And It Is Great




I duno if you guys remember Alexis Georgopoulos AKA Arp and his wonderful album 'In Light' from back in 2007, but i sure do. It contained soothing tunes full of analog-synth minimalism, kinda like Terry-Riley's "Descending Moonshine Dervishes' on vintage synthesizers instead of organs. Well, he has a new album, and it is similar but also great. This time he seems to be more focused on kraut-y electronics more akin to Cluster or Eno, and if you are a hard-liner for that type of thing you might be put of by the inescapable derivative-ness of these two albums. But I don't really mind, and if you can get down with Emeralds' latest album then you can definitely get down to this. Let's face it, the world will never stop needing more new-agey komische records. So I'm posting the whole thing, because I have absolute faith that no one reads this blog and that therefore I will not get in any trouble.
