Finders Keepers presents
Denis Wise
's
Wize Music
, one of the most unique and unlikely exponents of the highly collectible genres of ambient electronics, experimental tape-music and PINA (Private Issue New Age). This English-born Jamaican-raised sound designer, artist and existentialist furrowed his own unblinkered path through lesser-charted electronic fields for many moons before eventually teaming up with
Bill Laswell
(with
Material
) and
Daevid Allen
in New York to bring self-taught synthesis to
Gong
during their most oblique periods. Creating two impossibly rare self-pressed vinyl LPs of conceptual inner-visionary outer-galactic angular tonal-dronal alien-art soundscapes in the process, the man known under figure shifting guises such as

/
Denis Weise
/
Dr. Wise
combined a culture of sound system circuitry and radiophonic trickery adding teapot poetry and sci-fidelity future-folk to his magnetic mesh. Presented here as the first ever dedicated
Wize Music
collection, this record combines compositions spanning 1979-1984 in both a solo capacity as well as small-group projects featuring members of the
Emerald Web
band. Imagine a comic book where a Funkenstein monster called "
Laraaji
-
Scratch Perry
" invaded your record shelf while
Komendarek
and
Holger Czukay
kept lookout. Dr. Dennis might be the only one Wise enough to outsmart all of them with his powerful amorphous anesthetic.
