Space, Energy & Light: Experimental Electronic and Acoustic Soundscapes 1961-88

Description

Soul Jazz Records’ ‘Space, Energy & Light’ is a collection of music by early electronic and synthesizer pioneers (from the 1960’s through the 1970’s), mid-1970’s proto-new age gurus and 1980’s guerrilla D-I-Y cassette-era electronic artists, spanning in total over a near 30-year time frame. All of these artists used electronic advancements in music technology as a means of exploring not only space and the idea of the future, but also of looking inwards to the soul and of creating music in harmony with the natural world.
