These previously unheard one-man recordings are to be released for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExisting in a state of relentless forward motion, \u003cstrong\u003eKrantz\u003c\/strong\u003e rarely has the time or inclination to look back, which makes the emergence of the newly rediscovered recordings gathered here all the more extraordinary. It was laid down by \u003cstrong\u003eKrantz\u003c\/strong\u003e alone in a Reseda garage studio in the summer of 1985, with \u003cstrong\u003eKrantz\u003c\/strong\u003e handling all the compositional and instrumental duties himself. Its six tracks predate his first solo album by five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs evidence that \u003cstrong\u003eKrantz\u003c\/strong\u003e's singular talent was already well established even at this early stage, \u003cem\u003eMusic Room 1985\u003c\/em\u003e is entirely convincing. Simply as an album of music long lost to time and now only being heard, it is staggering, offering an entirely unique brand of agile, intelligent instrumental pop before a label like \"smooth jazz\" was a genre, a radio format, or an artistic punchline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDefined by taught rhythms and insidiously infectious melodies, \u003cem\u003eMusic Room 1985\u003c\/em\u003e largely eschews guitar heroics while still managing to capture the intensity and exhilaration of improvisation. Skeletal drum programming is embroidered by intricately arranged and precisely executed interlocking guitar figures - delivered in a clean, unforgiving tone recorded directly into the mixing board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abstract Logix","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50461088383307,"sku":"1116648","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0aff6260-bde8-468d-8842-3d0c6ac7c2d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727243158"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/wayne-krantz.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
