〈SEANCE CENTRE〉ニューリリース！USマサチューセッツ州1982年のニューエイジ・レーベルSPIRIT MUSICからリリースされたアルバム「Music Of The Five Elements」。
Acupressurist and electronic composer Sam McClellan's Music of the Five Elements is a work of perfectly tuned healing music. Originally released in 1982. TIP!
.
A deeply felt distillation Minimalism (in the Tony Conrad / La Monte Young school), American Primitive guitar (Fahey & Basho) and even psychedelia. The album is a continuous sound voyage for voice, synthesizer, guitar, bowed bass, piano, effects and ciao (Chinese flute) all played by McClellan himself. Although divided into sections, the journey is best undertaken as a whole, without distraction. As McClellan himself wrote on the original liner notes:
"The optimum effect of Music of the Five Elements will be achieved if each side of this recording is played through, from beginning to end without interruption. Music of the Five Elements, when used as a meditational or body work tool, rather than entertainment, will increase in effect over time. Overplaying or improper use, however, may eventually diminish its designed effect."
Re-mixed and mastered from the original master reels. Deep listening DMM pressing.
