Info

EssenceUniverse by Laraaji, released 28 October 2013 1. Essence 2. Universe Reissue of a rare 1987 album recorded for the Audion label. Consisting of two epic half hour pieces, EssenceUniverse is Laraaji at his most immersive and exploratory. Heavenly tone clusters that stretch out into infinity and recall Popul Vuhs soundtracks for Werner Herzog. Berkdrums Essential ambient-album During the time I was diving deeper and deeper into the world of ambient-music this masterpiece appeared on my radar and I was instantly attracted to it. the atmosphere here is just so peaceful and calming, yet it isnt too soft or melancholic.

On this, Laraaji's 1987 album, he sounds more like Eno once they're apart. EssenceUniverse is two side-long pieces that make up a whole - long, liquid passages of treated zither - sounding very close to Eno's On Land or Thursday Afternoon. The whole album glows orange and blue and makes for some pleasant background listening. Track Listing. Album 1987 2 Songs. EssenceUniverse Laraaji. Laraaji Artist Format: Audio CD. Please retry.

A beautiful record and gorgeous cover. I had the chance to ask Laraaji about the cover and was told me he took the photo himself! His personality really comes across in his work; harmonious, serene, yet still playful and full of love & light.

This LP contains two tracks that employ an apparently identical method: Laraaji improvises on his zither for about a half an hour, and Richard Ashman electronically shapes the melodious sound as light reflecting in undulating banks of mist and liquid. There's almost no means to identify any individual moment within each track; they are always changing, and always the same. Yet neither piece ever feels redundant or less than engaging. The overall effect is enigmatically mesmerizing. There is a strong sense of comfort and love evoked which is sustained throughout. The sound is never cloying, but simply natural and inevitable. I feel fortunate to have discovered this recording.
