Kevin Harrison ‎– Inscrutably Obvious [LP] (1981)

Fairly minimal synths, some looping, and sporadic use of sampling… while chill, it’s not ambient; and it doesn’t have anything resembling a danceable beat. These are more compositions than songs, lacking any type of traditional structure or format and instead resembling concepts or ideas, sometimes ending by simply fading out as opposed to reaching anything like a conclusion. Many of Harrison’s musical ideas sound familiar today, but others are still quite fresh and intriguing. [SOURCE: LIFE IN THE VINYL LANE]
