Don Slepian
is one of the longtime masters of digital space music. He recorded
Sea of Bliss
in 1980 while he was artist in residence at Bell Labs. He used the Alles Digital Synthesizer. This album was a staple on Music From the Hearts of Space,
Stephen Hill
's syndicated radio program on
NPR
.
Slepian
had it remastered for the 2000 reissue. It has withstood the test of time. Despite major advances in technology and technique, this CD has a fresh sound that allows it to stand shoulder to shoulder with new-millennium digitalia. This classic CD will appeal to fans of
Kitaro
,
Jeff Pearce
Kevin Braheny
Constance Demby
, and
Mark Dwane
. It is essential e-music. ~ Jim Brenholts
