Info for Oneironautics
Hawksmoor"s new album "Oneironautic" on Soul Jazz Records follows critically acclaimed "Telepathic Heights", as well as a re-release of his album "Saturnalia". James McKeown, aka Hawksmoor, continues his fascination with the sounds and sensibilities of 70s/80s German electronic groups, think early Cluster, Harmonia, Can, Neu!, Roedelius and Michael Rother. On this new album he successfully combines these pulsating ripples of Germanic electronica with a number of decidedly English references: the soaring, hypnotic and pastoral qualities of Brian Eno, circa "Another Green World"; the long, sustained lines of Robert Fripp"s "Frippertonics", and the poetic feel of early Durutti Column.

Musician James McKeown, better known in the heady electronic music world as Hawksmoor, has put out some of the most forward thinking and far out heavy synth albums in the last couple years. Albums like Methods Of Dreaming, On Prescription, as well as his collaboration with The Heartwood Institute Concrete Island have demonstrated McKeown’s knack for building these crystalline, retro-futuristic sonic palaces. Whole worlds with vintage synths, electric bass, and an overall feeling of finding some long lost album from the mid-70s that combines Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, and a Jodorowsky film score.
This album contains no booklet.
