Kevin Greenspan - maroon bells (bootleg tape)


I go this as a trade. The first thing I did is scope out the net for information. Unfortunately, I discovered  that mister Greenspan. is not internet friendly ( no info whatsoever). `Maroon bells`, with a name like that, me think it`s probably 
noise  \  experimental noise. Then, what the hell an amazing six tracks mini album (under twenty minutes long ) of light minimal electronics, near ambient music, almost new age (and I mean that in a good way, for once),  going into  ethereal territory. This  is a relaxing, peaceful, heavenly, soothing album. It conjures feelings of blissful serenity 
with a cold (kind of a winter chill) isolationism (I can hear some field recordings somewhere in the background). I wonder what gear, equipment senior Greenspan uses. 
Is he old school i.e. analog and synthesizers ? Maybe he`s digital, computers, VST`s, effects, sequencers and various softwares. One things for sure this is an incredible release (if you ever find it). Available somewhere on this planet. Almost obscure album reference, it sounds at times, a little bit like Tangerine Dream`s `Stratosphere`


 and `Phaedra` albums.
