Keyboard fantasies

"Stare at that window long enough and you can start to imagine everything-the sea, the sky, the sand, even Copeland-in a state of total suspension, deepened by the light of a sun that seems like it takes forever to set. He has never really needed much to grant him fullness. We're so obviously the ones that do".

"If you're not used to the kind of sincerity and faith in goodness Beverly Glenn-Copeland brings to 1986's Keyboard Fantasies, the experience of listening to this newly reissued album can be not just disarming but lacerating. When the Canadian coos "it's okay" over the sparkling lights of "Sunset Village," anyone who knows in their heart that it's not okay-and that's a lot of us-might tremble and become weak-kneed at the love that emanates from this music. Listeners come to this music with all sorts of problems, but Copeland's response is permanently pressed on wax, so that love becomes unconditional ... Keyboard Fantasies isn't ambient music but an emotional centrifuge".

"Keyboard Fantasies may not be techno proper, but it is dance music in the way that most counts. Its biggest strength is that, somehow, across oceans, dance floors, seasons, and, miraculously, decades, it calls us to communion with ourselves and each other".
