Emerging as a key architect of the late '70s\/'80s synthesiser revolution with David Sylvian's art-rock ensemble Japan, his visionary synthesiser programming expanded the horizons of electronic music \u0026amp; left a lasting mark on artists from The Human League \u0026amp; Duran Duran to Gary Numan \u0026amp; Talk Talk. His subsequent \u0026amp; ongoing tenure with Steven Wilson's legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree across albums such as 'In Absentia' (2002), 'Fear Of A Blank Planet' (2007) \u0026amp; most recently, 'Closure\/Continuation' (2022) further affirmed his status as one of the most intuitive \u0026amp; unique musicians of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Hauntings' is Barbieri's first studio album since 2021's 'Under A Spell', deepening the pensive, dark instrumental aesthetic of its predecessor. A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark \u0026amp; uplifting in equal measure, 'Hauntings' is influenced by a nostalgia for the past \u0026amp; future, \u0026amp; for things that didn't happen yet still manage to haunt the mind \u0026amp; soul. What is real \u0026amp; what is simulation?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard \u0026amp; sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere. The music wanders through the streets of a gloomy lamp-lit Victorian London \u0026amp; drifts into grain-speckled snapshots of Belle Epoque Paris. These journeys into the past are contrasted with nihilistic but euphoric forays into the future, \"Traveler\" \u0026amp; \"A New Simulation\" bristling with the itchy modern anxiety that often runs through his best work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContrasting the sound designs \u0026amp; electronics of Barbieri, the album features performances from renowned musicians Morgan Agren (drums \u0026amp; percussion), Percy Jones (bass guitar) \u0026amp; Luca Calabrese (trumpet).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2LP 45 RPM edition of 'Hauntings' is presented in gatefold packaging \u0026amp; pressed on limited edition red vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57210227884415,"sku":"KSCOPE1311","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/fbc19d9d-9d8a-44e3-9ca1-6dabdcbb351a.jpg?v=1774436931","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/richard-barbieri-hauntings-vinyl-lp-red-colour-due-out-10-04-26","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
