Golden era electronic music with a fantasy theme features vintage analog synthesizers, flutes, ethereal female vocals, acoustic instruments, and Lyricon. This enchanting album, Emerald Web's first of a total of twenty albums, was one of the earliest albums to be included in the “Space Music” genre. This classic album has a haunting experimental quality. When it was recorded in 1978, these synths were “state of the art” technology. The original reel-to-reel master tapes were meticulously restored and archived for this album.
An early seminal precursor to 1980s electronic new-age/minimal synth/relaxation music boom and a welcome feminine take on the genre. “Dragon Wings and Wizard Tales” features the multi-instrumentalist duo (Kat Epple and Bob Stohl) combining a broad range of modular synths, as found in similar formation to ambient Krautrock records,. This LP also features seldom heard lead vocals from Kat Epple, an element in their music which later disappeared in favour of non-lingustic spiritual soundscapes and universal tantric electronics.
This is the Sebastian Speaks Record Label vinyl LP which is a re-issue from 2011.
It is new, and has not been opened or played. The album comes in a plastic sleeve to help protect the cover.
