Label: Dead Mind Records

3rdアルバムが初LP化!!オランダDead Mind RecordsのオーナーJohnny van de Koolwijkが非常に強い個人的思い入れでリイシューを継続している、本国オランダの伝説的シンセサイザー音楽家Enno Velthuysの諸音源。フルクサス創設に関わったWillem de Ridderに才能を見出され音源制作を続けた人物であり、本作は1985年にKubus Kassettesよりカセットリリースされた3枚目のアルバム[Landscapes In Thin Air]。2ndと比べリズムの存在及びメロディックなシンセが特徴的であり、全10編に渡り続くシネマティックな構成も非常に上手い。オリジナルに収録された全楽曲が収まり切らなかった為LPと7インチに分割して収録。オリジナルマスターテープを用いたリマスター版。







Landscapes In Thin Air is Enno’s third album and was initially released by Kubus Kassettes in 1985. When Rob Smit decided to stop his label activities shortly after publishing this cassette, Hessel Veldman published a second edition on his label EXART.

Compared to his second album, Glimpse of Light, it has a stronger presence of rhythm and a more melodic use of synths. These 10 cinematic sketches have a clean, caressed calmness about them and seem to depict a specific time, feeling or location. A light atmosphere, the sky warming up during sunrise, a sense of discomfort and finally, the city cooling down when night falls.

It’s hard to imagine Enno producing this majestic album by himself in his bedroom. All his trademark arrangements in place, framed by a tight controlled aesthetics and a strong metaphorical presence. Meticulously recreated from the original cassette masters, we are proud to reissue this ambient masterpiece.
