dijitl Transported away somewhere gentle and sublime. Favorite track: Ever New.

majhium This is an exquiste album. Beverly's voice so calming so beautiful. I am listening to this album on repeat. It brings me calm, hope and joy in equal measure. I was drawn to this music by listening to Stuart Maconie BBC 6 music Freak Zone.

In these very troubling times for all of us this music simply helps calm my mind. All my heart felt love to you Beverly. Favorite track: Sunset Village.

about

Recently awarded the Slaight Polaris Heritage Prize in 2020, Keyboard Fantasies was originally self-released on cassette in 1986. Entirely recorded on DX-7 and TR-707 in the northern Canadian town of Huntsville, it lies musically somewhere between new-age and (accidentally) early Detroit techno experiments. The inimitable style of BGC here is both peaceful and meditative while simultaneously rhythmic and bass heavy. The album is a beautiful fusion of personal vision, technology and place.

The 35th anniversary re-issue of Keyboard Fantasies is available now on vinyl, CD and cassette, including extended liner notes written by Robyn.
