Solstice

Description

Product Description Erik Wøllo's classic album, Solstice, is reborn in this special remastered edition. Along with two previously unreleased tracks from the era, the album now sounds better than ever, with a depth and clarity that far surpass the original release. Solstice is an album with a pure, yet sophisticated electronic palette that features Wollo's cinematic atmospheres at their finest. Melodic beauty adorns a solid rhythmic structure, and a sense of minimalism is present throughout the entire album. At times, the music incorporates rhythms and elements from around the world, including a remarkable performance by South Indian violin virtuouso L. Subramaniam on the track Northern Lights Alap. A must-have album for all who love ambient electronic music, Solstice is a landmark release from the golden age of Wøllo's creative development. Review "Solstice is one of my all time favorite discs. When I first discovered it in the early 90's, I was taken by how fresh and genuine it sounded. I found it so inspiring that I listened to it almost every single morning for the better part of two years. I have returned to it often since then, and like any true classic, it is always a satisfying listen that never disappoints." --Jon Jenkins
