Ghost Space

Folding Space and Melting Galaxies has been long out-of-print for over a decade and is finally available once again! A mixture of analog and digital synthesizers were used to create this electronic music known as the "Berlin School" sound. In the tradition of long evolving songs yet unique with its own style, this vintage synth sound is an ear full of delight. This album was originally recorded in 2000 and released on Space For Music Records in 2002. The original audio multi-tracks were lost; all that remain are the final stereo mixdowns (which have been remastered for this release).

John Tropea is at his best here, with great melodies like Skip Scarborough's "Can't Hide Love," Don Grolnick's "You Can't Have It All," and Tropea's own "Blue Too" and "Short Trip to Space," a fascinating and complex tune that actually sounds like its title. The production is excellent, with a double-drum setup featuring Steve Gadd and Rick Marotta on most of the tunes that adds a lot of depth to the sound.
