THE DREAM

A1 The Dream
B1 The Calling (Long)
B2 Meditasian (Short)



Emotional Rescue continues with another "Cosmic Classic" in the release of The Dream. Created from Indipop Records pioneering stable of early 80s ethnic Dance music, the EP found favour with the more discerning balearic, afro and left-leaning DJs. While the term ‘World Music’ became a dirty word by the late 80s onwards, the ground-breaking work of producer Steve Coe and his partner, Sheila Chandra as Monsoon, spread beyond their 1981 hit with Ever So Lonely, to be literally the originators about all that was good in the merging of dub, dance and ethnic music. Expanding this to it’s maximum through the idea of a full orchestra, The Dream mixes duggis, shenai, tabla, conga and guitar through Indian raga and European rhythm structures to create a unique musical vision. Discovered and championed by a young Daniele Baldelli, this is our 2nd release to of been defined as a “Cosmic Classic”, however, that would be too narrow a description. Long known to more open minded collectors and DJs, the whole EP has long been sought after and staple of many sunset and sunrise experiences. This release takes it further with the little known and in this longer version, previously unreleased addition, in The Calling. Essentially an ambient version of The Dream, to some this will be the real gem of the EP. Extended especially for this release by The Invisible Hands, it’s title is apt. They also turn the respectful scapel to the raga of Meditasian. Originally the B side to The Dream and at over 24 minutes infamously packaged with what turned out to be vinyl warping incense that was designed to be lit for it’s journey. For our release we have edited it to a shorter meditative length that still grasps it’s depth. Fully licensed and remastered as ever. Enjoy, but be careful with the incense!
