NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS
Energy Exchange

Klanggalerie CD 16.98
Track listing

Nocturnal Emissions has been active since the late 70s and has gone through dozens of aesthetic changes, under the watchful ear of ringleader Nigel Ayers. Energy Exchange was originally released in 1991 on Ayers' label Earthly Delights to document a handful of their live recordings. At this time in Nocturnal Emissions' history, the band was engaged in a blissful yet esoteric ambience heavily influenced by the seminal ambient recordings from Brian Eno. On a few of these tracks, members of the anonymous collective :Zoviet France: make appearances. The cd version features three bonus tracks which didn't appear on the out of print vinyl.
