Album lore

Joel Graham’s Geomancy, issued by Music From Memory in 2016, distills the austerity of 1980s minimal wave into two extended compositions. The title track unfolds with a deliberate economy of synth tones, its textures sparse yet precise, evoking the experimental ethos of underground electronic music from that decade. The companion piece, “Night,” continues this restrained exploration, emphasizing subtle shifts within a tight sonic framework.Though modest in length and footprint, Geomancy stands as a contemporary artifact that channels the cold, mechanical pulse characteristic of early electronic experimentation. Its minimal arrangements and deliberate pacing reward attentive listening, offering a quiet resonance that aligns with the label’s dedication to unearthing overlooked signals from the past.
