Trying to put the last 15 years of music
into context, youÆd be hard pressed to
get anyone to agree on a single thing.
If anything, this period has been a
collective convergence of all things
cool-sounding: na∩ve experimentalism,
academic composition, art-rock
synthesis, electronic
nihilism/flagellation, and, well,
everything else. Mark McGuire could
muddy anyones interpretation of the
contemporary canon with his buddies in
the triadic mega-unit, Emeralds, his
collaborative outings in Sun Watcher and
Skyramps (with Daniel ôOneohtrix Point
Neverö Lopatin), and his prolific, yet
well-executed, solo work. öHave you
heard his shredability, incomprehensible
astral traveling and meditative neutron
stasis on any of those solo jams, the
dude must be ancient!?ö Truth is, Mark
Mcguire is a younginÆ, not a refugee of
the Æ70s. Nor is he mining unfamiliar
territory; he produces something old and
familiar, yet it sounds so fresh and
necessary for today.

Originally released as limited edition
cassettes and masterfully cleaned up for
this definitive release by James
Plotkin, Tidings/Amethyst Wavesfinds
McGuire packing 60+ minutes with
trance-inducing, melodic guitar
intricacies, an occasional wall-of-
squall reminiscent of Mizutani riding a
thunder horse, and filaments of a
drifting stratosphere where organic
synthed-out solos are nestled in tight.
With this release, Mark McGuire has
hatched a true American Euro-vision
utilizing major shifts in the æmusic as
languageÆ paradigm. No joke, this is
where Wyld Stallyns is heading in the
year 2398 A.G. and Tidings/Amethyst
Waves is as essential as anything in the
Emeralds catalog.
