994 début release by Portuguese guitarist turned deep space explorer Rafael Toral. Previously issued on CD by AnAnAnA, this new edition has been pre-mastered by Rafael Toral to exacting specifications and newly mastered and cut to vinyl by Rashad Becker at D&M, Berlin.

Spread over two slabs, four sides of vinyl, Rafael’s first opus takes on a whole new life here, as the remaster and vinyl cut render his searching, somnolent, and arcing sound in a hospitable new context, with the awning glacial breeziness of A E R 4 shimmering next to the wilting phase of Loopability I, the patiently bittersweet discord of his 20 minute A E R 7 E, and the uniquely strung out bliss of his Textura vignettes in delectably fuzzy ways where you’d hardly guess it was generated by guitar.
