About This Item
Reissue of the long out of print mini LP, originally released on Static Caravan in 2003. The four track mini LP points in different directions simultaneously both towards the ambient works that would soon take up such a prominent place in the Manual discography, as well as towards the epic, 1980s-influenced Azure Vista, released in 2005. The warm and swirling sound of Isares betrays Jonas Munk's admiration for the sound of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Although the works of Manual were highly regarded by critics in this period, Jonas Munk remained in obscurity. But the influence of these sounds can still be heard in following acts such as M83 or Tycho as well as in recent styles such as neo-shoegaze and chill-wave. Album Tracks 1. Awake 2. Stealing Through 3. Wake 4. Horizon
