VIDNA OBMANA & JAN MARMENOUT – SPIRITS
(CD, Highgate Music 1999)
In the middle of VIDNA OBMANA‘S tribal phase, he teamed up with Gent-based multi-instrumentalist JAN MARMENOUT. Commissioned by Ivan Candaele, who ran an esoteric shop in Gent, this album captures both musicians performing an album that was equally spontaneous and meticulously structured. Behind the shop, Ivan had a recording space where the album was recorded and mixed in 1999. That same year the music was released on Highgate Music, the label of Ivan himself. Unfortunately due to a lack of decent promotion, this little gem never got the exposure it deserved.
