Juan Manuel Cidrón SLG3
Very limited gatefold double LP. Juan Manuel Cidron, hailing from Almeria (Andalusia), is a legendary Spanish synthesist who embarked on his musical journey in 1976. A veteran of analog electronic sounds, his early influences come from the Berlin School of the seventies (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, etc.) and American Minimal music. Cidron has independently released 16 albums on his label, Extrarradio, with very limited distribution. 'SLG3' is a long-awaited double album with four lengthy tracks (one per side), available in a limited edition of 300 copies. Juan Manuel Cidron has always been immersed in music. As a child, he fell in love with a radio adorned with flashing lights - radio is now one of his professions. He was equally captivated by the music that enveloped him. With whatever little money he had as a child and during his youth, he would spend all his money on records and analog machines. Music is everything to him - a celebration of life. The vastness that his electronic keyboards offer us is akin to the immensity of the desert, snow, and wind. Albums like 'Tau' or 'Sonido Para Acciones' belong to the realm of Spanish electronic music and are cherished by enthusiasts of sonic poetry. This vinyl edition marks a return to analog, a medium Cidron reveres and continues to embrace; a testament to his unwavering commitment to the quality that arises from the harmonious blend of natural and artificial rhythms. "The tracks S, L, and G evoke the personal perceptions that I could imagine for each of the three elements comprising our planet in all its forms, manifestations, and presences. The track '3' evokes my unique interpretation of how an imaginary being from another world might perceive Earth - its discovery, journey to it, exploration filled with admiration, bewilderment, hope, and respect. However, all of this is open to free interpretation and imagination for those who listen." - Juan Manuel Cidron, 2023. Tracklist>> Side A. S (21.44) Side B. L (20.52) Side C.
