Standing ovation for Aguirre please! The Belgian label has been responsible for some of our favourite records, covering new works as well as reissues over the past few years (and always with finesse). This debut from Texan meditative synth shaman JD Emmanuel has been big for a while, one of many hypnotic field recording/drone hybrid LP’s that have been long out of print. Emmanuel blends his personal recordings from Houston Zoo with delicate tones from his Crumar Traveler-1 organ and an array of synthesisers to truly beautiful effect. To think that if Douglas McGowan hadn’t found boxes of JD’s albums back in 2005 this music might still be a secret.....
