Sufjan Stevens & Lowell Brams - Aporia [Yellow LP]

Aporia is a New Age album from Sufjan Stevens and his step-father and record label co-owner, Lowell Brams, brimming with moody, hooky, gauzy synthesizer soundscapes and created collaboratively in the spirit of the New Age composers who sanded off the edges of their synths' sawtooth; Aporia is not a mere curio in the Sufjan Stevens catalog - but a fully realized collaborative musical piece.Aporia approximates a rich soundtrack from an imagined sci-fi epic brimming with moody, hooky, gauzy synthesizer soundscapes.The album may suggest the progeny of a John Carpenter, Wendy Carlos, and Mike Oldfield marriage, but it stands apart from these touchstones and generates a meditative universe all its own. Side A:Ousia 2:33What It Takes 3:24Disinheritance 1:13Agathon 3:03Determined Outcome 2:13Misology 1:50Afterworld Alliance 2:47Palinodes 0:33Backhanded Cloud 1:26Glorious You 1:50Side B:For Raymond Scott 0:35Matronymic 0:58The Red Desert 2:54Conciliation 1:20Ataraxia 1:13The Unlimited 2:15The R
