Martin Ederer's Crea, 1980 (almost by request, with lossless)





The more experimental album Expressions from 1975 was requested but here I am today with this lovely little solo / self-duet guitar performance by him alone from 1980 called Crea.  Drop the diamond on the vinyl and behold the sheer melodiousness of the title track:





Obviously, not a little beholden to those library albums / seventies OSTs we know so well by now.  Despite the ridiculous labeling of this work on discogs as Easy Listening, there is a great deal of quite progressively inventive guitarwork which recalls to me the great Christy Doran solo albums, such as Harsh Romantics, particularly with the combination of two electric guitars both performing quite dissonant harmonies or perhaps disharmonies in conjunction, or disjunction.
For example, Dance of the Green Cactus:





Then I was surprised by the whole tone arpeggios, King Crimson via Bi Kyo Ran road, celebrated on Beyond the Ocean:





That the surf would be so enamored of tritones as I am was a pleasant surprise indeed.  As was this whole album in fact.
