“English ambient-exotica trailblazer Mike Cooper. Celebrating his 84th anniversary, Cooper’s work over the past six decades is as divergent as it is inspiring. Merging an interest in unusual soundscapes, extended Hawaiian slide techniques, devolved song form and evocative ambiences, Mike Cooper’s output is sublime and utterly unique. Little surprise he has recently been held up as one of the masters of music’s outer limits.” ( Lawrence English-Room40 Records.)
