William Onyeabor - Body And Soul - VINYL LP

The debut album from post-folk travelers Immaterial Possession, a quartet, half of whom came from an artist commune and half who were card-carrying Elephant6 alumni. 'Immaterial Possession' is a rich tapestry of a record, a gorgeous, melodious return to a time when influences co-habited freely and whatever was close at hand made the music of the day.All set to Syd Barrett-era Floyd and Nico with haunting lines, it's perfectly tinged with gamelan harmonies, evocative Spanish guitars and xylophone. Exuding mystical symbolism; they wear luscious threads, they're part of something/anything; perhaps a neo-modern-folk commune of artists in search of a canvas to stretch out over their juxtaposed influences.Immaterial Possession was conceived by Atlanta natives, Cooper Holmes and Madeline Polites, who met while living together at an Atlanta artist commune that was integrated into the DIY music, theatre, and arts scene. Some years later the duo moved to the neighbouring musical town of Athens, GA. They were soon joined by seasoned drummer, John Spiegel, and eventually fulfilled with multi-instrumentalist Kiran Fernandes (keyboards, clarinets, flutes) - descendant of the Elephant 6 Collective scene.It's eastern, it's eerie dream pop, it's spacious and ethereal... A perfectly wild trip, and where it ends is immaterial.immaterial.A1 Midnight WanderA2 See Through StarsA3 Tropical Still Life A4 In The Loom A5 Phase one B1 Bosphorus BrineB2 Circle of BellsB3 Rising MoonsB4 Accidental SummoningB5 Phase Two B6 Nightcap

Hypertension is the one album that doesn't have any tracks on the Who Is William Onyeabor compilation. Frankly I didn't really like this album at first, you might not either. But what I have found is that a lot of the Onyeabor material grows on you, that over time you become more and more open to it. Original 1982.

Good name was one of Onyeabor's rarest and most in demand albums. Though it only has two song on it they are stormers! Original 1983
