Product Overview
Sufjan Stevens & Lowell Brams - Aporia (CD) ØAporiaÙ is a New Age album from Sufjan Stevens and his step-father and record label co-owner, Lowell Brams. In the spirit of the New Age composers who sanded off the edges of their synthsÙ sawtooth waves, Aporia approximates a rich soundtrack from an imagined sci-fi epic brimming with moody, hooky, gauzy synthesizer soundscapes. The album may suggest the progeny of a John Carpenter, Wendy Carlos and Mike Oldfield marriage but it stands apart from these touchstones and generates a meditative universe all its own. This is no mere curio in the Sufjan Stevens catalogue but a fully realized collaborative musical piece. ÜSufjan Stevens is one of the most prolific and absolutely gifted American songwriters of the 21st century.Ý - NPR ÜStevens remains at the height of his powers - capable of work as individual, compassionate and powerful as any American composer working today.Ý - The Washington Post Available on CD, first-run yellow coloured vinyl and cassette.
