Description:

Wizards by Jd Emmanuel, released 26 May 2015. This version of Wizards comes as a 1xCD. - THIS CD REISSUE OF JD EMMANUEL'S WIZARDS CONTAINS TWO

This CD reissue of JD Emmanuel's Wizards contains two tracks excluded from the original 1982 LP due to master tape problems. "Wizards was my first deep trance electronic music album. This album was inspired by Terry Riley, one of the earliest people ever to compose and perform long, extended, cyclic pieces in the electronic format. This music was composed and performed in '81 and '82. I consider this album my best work. The instrumentation is three Sequential Circuits PRO-1s, Crumar Traveler One, and a Yamaha SK-20, all real time recording to a Teac four-track reel-to-reel. I mixed the four tracks to a Teac A-7300 Master 2-Track tape recorder using a DeltaLab DL-2 to create the delay track. In 2006, I used a Tascam 34B 4-track to remaster all my master tapes to digital master of 196 KHz/24 bit .WAV files using Soundforge 8 software. The original Wizards LP was published in the Summer of 1982 with the black and white cover. The initial tracks had no names and were called Movements I-V. Several years later sales had slowed down, in an effort to improve sales we tried the color cover and I created names for each track." --JD Emmanuel.

Instrumentation: Crumar Traveler I Organ, 3x Sequential Circuits Pro-One Synthesizers, Yamaha SK-20 Symphonic Ensemble, DeltaLab DL-2 Digital Delay Tracks 6 and 7 are listed as "Bonus I: Movement III" and "Bonus II: Movement V" on the release. For tracks 1 to 5, the durations printed on the release do not match the durations as they actually run. Durations as printed: track 1: 4:34, track 2: 4:59, track 3: 9:19, track 4: 8:43, track 5: 8:47 On rear: The original version of Wizards had a defective master tape that stopped LP production. In the meantime, I had created two new pieces that I liked better for Wizards, replacing tracks 3 and 5. The bonus tracks are the original tracks 3 and 5 which have been added for historical purposes. From the Important Records website: In 2006, I used a Tascam 34B 4-track to remaster all my master tapes to digital master of 196 KHz/24 bit .WAV files using Soundforge 8 software. J.D.
