This was featured in the guidebook OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION. This 1990 album was created by Swedish jazz guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Almqvist—who has been releasing high-quality work since the late 1970s—together with keyboardist Stefan Blomquist. Heavily incorporating electronics, the album delivers a full range of New Age-inspired tracks that layer digital synthesizers and open-toned electric guitar over solid machine beats reminiscent of Michael Shrieve's electronic works. The result is a delicate soundscape that feels like a fusion of late-period Manuel Göttsching and German guitar duo Kolbe & Illenberger. A truly remarkable piece. Highly recommended. Original Swedish pressing.
