'Baralku' is the 5th studio album from downtempo favorite Emancipator.
‘Baralku’ is a mythological spirit island in the Milky Way upon which departed souls build fires to let their loved ones know they arrived safely in the afterlife. I was moved by the imagery of this concept as it relates to my life and the creative process. Music takes me to places, and each song is a spirit island on which its soul lives infinitely. To release a song is both a death and a birth at the same time. The sounds contained in each song have reached the end of their life process. The once shapeshifting collage of expression has been crystallized into a final form, no longer kinetic. Yet it exists in a state of permanent potential energy, waiting to be accessed in the form of music, just as the memory of a departed soul will always have the power to move us. – Doug Appling

Phenomenal. Emancipator is one of my biggest musical influences. His music is captivating and makes me feel deeply. Subtly progressive. The compositions on this album are magical. This album sounds great. Plus, the photographs included with the purchase are a beautiful addition.
