Keyboard fantasies reimagined

"The real star of the show is ambient musician Julia Holter, who takes the spacey fanfare of Winter Astral, renames it Fastest Star, and makes something warped and whooshy that genuinely sounds like it came from another planet".

"It might help to be aware of the original recordings, but don't fret if that isn't possible as the reworked versions here stand proudly on their own. With five of the eight tracks over six minutes (and one, Ever New, as elegantly redrafted by Kelsey Lu, touching 10 minutes), there is plenty of time to allow the magic to take effect".

"The artists involved are not afraid to bring their own identities to the table; Bon Iver's 'Ever New' shares a musical palette with his 2016 album 22, A Million, while the more maximalist moments on Holter's 'Fastest Star' bring 2017's Aviary to mind. Yet throughout, Glenn-Copeland's vision and explorative fearlessness are summoned in stirring fashion. Keyboard Fantasies Reimagined is a rarity - a must-listen collection of remixes".

"Once lost, now very much found, Beverly Glenn-Copeland's 1986 album occupied a bright new place in the world on its 2016 reissue. This collection of remixes and reworkings crystallises some of the links made by its new age synthesizers and ancient folk warmth, with Bon Iver, Flock Of Dimes and Blood Orange among the artists rewiring the Canada-based composer's work ... Despite its fragile origins out on the margins, Keyboard Fantasies stands up well to being reimagined, further testament to its inner strengths".
