Danalogue - Teleportations - Red and yellow fade vinyl LP

Teleportations, the new album of Kosmische from Danalogue on red and yellow vinyl LP.

Following an illustrious tenure as founding member of acclaimed, boundary-defying trio The Comet Is Coming, alongside output as half of electronic psych jazzers Soccer96, the producer and synthesist Dan Leavers, aka Danalogue, announces his debut solo LP, Teleportations. 

Moving seamlessly between celestial ambience, shimmering kosmische, euphoric space disco, liquid jazz funk and the deepest Detroit house, the album invites listeners to enrol in what Dan describes as a “teleportation programme”.

Danalogue cites figures such as Joe Meek, Wendy Carlos, Isao Tomita, Laurie Spiegel, Mort Garson and Terry Riley, and groups Harmonia and Kluster, as influences.

The record’s sequencing is integral to its effect. Opening with the mesmeric overture ‘Awakening On the Planet’, the album gradually ascends through blissed-out interstellar drift, sci-fi electro, krautrock-inflected interludes and propulsive dancefloor release, before descending into serene ambient suspension and wistful closure.

Lead single ‘Far Beyond The Sun’ is a space age ballad, playfully exploring the concept of crossing the galaxy to meet a treasured person in the afterlife. Resplendent with layers of woozy synthesizers, the track brings the addition of Danalogue’s yearning, lo-fi vocals, leading us on a journey towards a cascading synth solo.

‘Moebius Triptych’ blends driving, hypnotic dancefloor energy with catchy synth melodies, as its progressive dream-logic structure unfolds. Tracks such as ‘Theta Wave Convergence’ channel ecstatic momentum and collective energy, while ‘Arrival at Rho Ophiuchi’ and ‘Earth Remembrance Day’ offer moments of reflection, melancholy and cosmic stillness. The closing track feels like a long goodbye: sad, grateful and quietly hopeful.
