Pre-Order Opportunity
The Tangent is excited to announce the new album by Kalman Filter "The Moons Of Neptune"
Kalman Filter is the German Electronica division of The Tangent stable and features Andy Tillison's Instrumental and atmospheric work which continues the themes and styles of his early solo albums like "Fog" and "Murk".
The second Kalman Filter Title "The Moons Of Neptune" is an album written in an isolated part of planet Earth and written about one of its most distant neighbours. So distant is Neptune that we only discovered it had 14 Moons in the past few Decades - beleiving there to only be two until the erly 1980s when Voyager finally flew past to give us the extra information,
"It is a cold place" Andy says, "and as such I have tried to use an icy palette of sounds for this set of pieces. I've found myself looking earlier into the Berlin School history than normal and Tangerine Dream albums like Zeit and Alpha Centauri have been influential here - but I've still got that love of the burbling sequencer lines, so I haven't eschewed those".
And he hasn't entirely eschewed some out and out Prog moments either, and flashes of Jazz fusion photo bomb the proceedings from time to time.
The album's 14 pieces range in length from 30 seconds to 14 minutes, some of the tracks "stand alone" and some run into one another.
The CD edition that is planned will include the whole of the project naturally - although this album is what you would normally think of as "Vinyl Length" - about 45 minute all told. Therefore the CD edition will include something else in the same direction, but Andy is not yet decided about what this is going to be as he has "several options on the table"
This album is entirely composed and performed by Andy Tillison Diskdrive using a variety of Synthesisers, pianos, organs ond other entirely electronic instruments. It is an instrumental album.
So, we are happy to open the Pre-Order opportunity today! The CD has no release date set, but will be in your hands in time for Christmas subject to manufacturing schedules being kept to - under any lockdown conditions that may prevent delivery on time.
