Beverly Glenn-Copeland - Keyboard Fantasies (Limited Edition Cassette) 01SC-K7

$10.00

Beverly Glenn-Copeland is already known amongst collectors and music heads for two sought-after albums of folky jazz in the key of Joni. But it was this album, originally self-released on cassette in 1986 that really caught our attention. The album, entirely recorded on DX-7 and TR-707, lies somewhere between digital new-age and (accidentally) early Detroit techno experiments. The inimitable style of BGC is both peaceful and meditative here, while simultaneously rhythmic and bass heavy. The album was recorded in the northern Canadian town of Huntsville where BGC was living at the time and is a beautiful fusion of personal vision, technology and place.

This limited edition cassette re-release stays true to the original format and features a reconstructed glasswork design by Alan Briand.

Canadian artist Beverly Glenn-Copeland returns to the environment where he recorded Keyboard Fantasies and reflects on how the wilderness influenced his sound and psyche at the time. The album was recorded in 1986 while he was living near Huntsville (3 hours north of Toronto), and only a handful of the self-released cassettes sold back then. Now in his seventies, Glenn's music is being rediscovered by a new generation through a vinyl reissue, and his prescient vision has found its audience at last.
