What Shadow didn't realize was that the proto-electronic cocktail he mixed in 1984 would find the recognition it deserved three decades later. Sweet Sweet Dreams delivers a fantastic sound with monster soca-boogie tunes, fusing a range of rhythms and new sounds, primarily heavy synth riffs. Sweet Sweet Dreams was recorded at the legendary SHARC studios, located on a hill in Chaguaramas (near Port of Spain). It prompted his manager to wonder if Shadow had written the lyrics while in a state of 'tabanca' (a word used in Trinidad and Tobago to describe lovesickness). Shadow's inert creativeness culminated in Sweet Sweet Dreams, which deals with burning and ever-relevant themes like love and the ups-and-downs of relationships - a surprising fact for someone mainly known for his satirical and political lyrics. But after a while, Shadow teamed up with more innovative arrangers, including Arthur DeCoteau. In the early days of his career, Shadow's style was cramped due to conservative music arrangers who felt that calypso and soca should fit into a mold. To his family's initial chagrin, he eventually chose calypso over church music. Coming from a humble but musical family, Shadow started writing songs at a young age while tending cattle in the fields. Shadow effortlessly moves between both calypso and soca. Calypso, the indigenous folk music of Trinidad and Tobago, led to several other music genres, including soca, which has up-tempo beats and is played in a festival context. A truly enigmatic artist, Shadow first emerged in Trinidad and Tobago during the 1970s and became a part of the tapestry of Caribbean music, reinvigorating calypso. The far-out album by Trinidad and Tobago's Shadow was panned by critics and unable to reach markets, disappearing into the dusty record collections of a few music aficionados. Production is not solely musical in nature, as Arktau Eos also produces their own album covers and non-musical 'special releases.Analog Africa present a reissue of Shadow's (aka Winston Bailey) Sweet Sweet Dreams, originally released in 1984. Typically, they record in an analog studio, using tape reels and unusual and handmade instruments. Earlier offerings were released on their own label, Aural Hypnox. They released two albums in 2012: CD-only 'Ioh-Maera' and vinyl-only 'Unworeldes' via Svart Records. They have toured mostly outside of their native Finland, including shows in the U.K., Russia, and the U.S. Equal parts stellar and serene, subterranean and disturbing, Arktau Eos remains in constant evolution, paying attention only to the cues of the spirits and maintaining the integrity of the dream-continuum of which our 'consciousness' is but a mere drop in the ocean.' Arktau Eos performs masked in keeping with their occult ('secret') persona and prefer to go by AIH and AIL, respectively. It is a ghastly and wondrous parade of cryptic images and sounds, which a given recording is a reflection of, thus becoming a new gateway for the perceptive listener. From their pages: 'Born out of the vision of its creators in early 2005, Arktau Eos has become a sentient frame capable of capturing fleeting moments of oneiric activity, where essential gnosis manifests itself in blazing hieroglyphs. Arktau Eos is a ritual ambient duo from Finland, comprised of Anti Ittna Haapapuro (also of Aeoga, Arktau Aon, Aural Holograms, Dolorian, Halo Manash, I.Corax) and Antti Litmanen (also of Arktau Aon and Babylon Whores).
