Jose Manuel presents Magic Carpet: Contemporary Music 1982-1994

Magic Carpet is the first Compilation of the German Label Harmonie Exotic. Jose Manuel selected 12 experimental ambient tracks from the 1982 to the 1994. They are combined by the same feature, namely the magic and mysterious character. Even though all the (remastered) tracks released in different countries, such as Japan, Italy, and France, they are all combined in being rare and obscure songs. In most of them it is possible to verify the oneiric melodies mixed with the different drum machines, typical of that year. For this reason, they show how the magic has been developed over the chosen years, as they were all enveloped from the same carpet. Starting from this idea the Compilation’s title plays an important role in anticipating the dreamlike listening experience. It features Vangelis Katsoulis, Meo, International Noise Orchestra, Astral Dance, D-Day, Roots etc.
