These two greats go deeper than usual on this collection, and the end result is a synth concept record of sorts. Released in 1974, it's an essential companion piece to their Synthesizer and Percussion LP, released on Themes International Music in the same year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike most of our favourite library records, Synthesis has that gloriously funky, \"weird electronic music\" vibe without ever being inaccessible. With the awesome ARP Odyssey at the fore, Hawkshaw and Bennett have created a blissed-out soundscape that, whilst laid back in all the right places, somehow remains heavy on the funk. It's a sort of throbbing, proto-G Funk sound and you can find it on many of these low-lit basement workouts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake the ice-cool \"Alto Glide\". It's a sunset-funk highlight with an electro-flute refrain that conjures those dreamier Dre \/ DJ Quick instrumentals from '91 to '92. Stereolab, Koushik (again) and all those Ghost Box artists were clearly listening very closely in the years since. The equally relaxed \"Mermaid\" glides effortlessly with soft, shimmering piano, understated percussion and kaleidoscopic synths. It's a really beautiful piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BIGWAX DISTRIBUTION","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":59598548205893,"sku":"BEWITH046LP","price":29.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/4099\/1797\/files\/4260544825965.jpg?v=1791294255","url":"https:\/\/miniwax.club\/en-us\/products\/alan-hawkshaw-brian-bennett-synthesis-2027-repress","provider":"Miniwax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
