Artist:	ARP
Title:	In Light
Label:	SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND (NORWAY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	STS 133CD

"Arp is the most recent project of Alexis Georgopoulos, formerly of Tussle & The Alps. As an emblem of Alexis' commitment to 'natural electronic music' (bridging the natural and electronic worlds), nearly all of In Light was recorded live. Very few loops were used -- in fact, only one. This gesture was meant to bring back some of the rough (re: natural) edges that have been lost in so much electronic music today. In Light is a luminous album of warm, pulsing music. Like dreams or rich, saturated moments that make one lose sense of time, they are grainy snapshots, like old films of one's own experiences, elevated moments. Call it pop minimalism. Call it cosmic pop. Call it cosmic minimalism. Call it what you will."

Title:	The Soft Wave
Label:	SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND (NORWAY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	STS 190CD

"Recorded as Alexis Georgopoulos (the man behind the music of Arp) relocated from San Francisco to New York, The Soft Wave is expansive in scope, unfolding like a collection of short stories or filmic vignettes, each piece building upon the other. The Soft Wave incorporates guitars, piano, flute, and Ebows to create a dense brocade of sound. Georgopoulos even steps up to the mic for the gorgeous centerpiece 'From A Balcony Overlooking The Sea,' calling to mind classic John Cale and Brian Eno. Though Georgopoulos still has a knack for creating environments in which you want to recline hammock-style, he's also peppered The Soft Wave with soft blasts of blessed-out fuzz. Recorded to 2-inch tape, it's warm glow and blown-out formalism will undoubtedly appeal to a broad, sophisticated range of tastes."
