Bernard Xolotl - Return of the Golden Mean (1980)

Excellent collaborative album between new age great Bernard Xolotl and Cyrille Verdeaux, who's best known as the central member of Clearlight. Crystalline guitar-synths, regular ol' synths, and a bit of cello, all intertwined in a beautiful, shimmering expanse of sound. This was supposed to be my lazy, relaxing Sunday post but it was pre-empted due to the news about Mimi Parker.

Track listing:

1. Star Gulls

2. Future Seas

3. Drifting Tides

4. Indian Loop

5. Prophecy

Distant, alone, beneath the platinum stars
