*240 copies limited edition* Teleportations is the debut solo LP by Dan Leavers (Danalogue), known for The Comet Is Coming and Soccer96. Conceived and performed entirely by him as a continuous, journey-like piece, the album transforms personal loss and upheaval into a warm, playful science-fiction voyage that moves through celestial ambience, kosmische shimmer, space disco, liquid jazz-funk and deep Detroit house. Sequenced as a single trip rather than separate songs, it invites listeners to join a self-styled “teleportation programme” where sound, texture and motion carry one through shifting emotional states toward healing and renewal.

Drawing on sci‑fi imagery and thinkers and artists from Jean Giraud to Miyazaki and Ernst Bloch, Teleportations treats travel as metaphor: escaping fixed realities to return with renewed perspective. A short story accompanying the record expands this mythology, imagining a lifeform that converges brainwaves into a stream of consciousness to slingshot across space. The album channels the exploratory spirit of 1970s German kosmische and outsider electronic pioneers—Joe Meek, Wendy Carlos, Isao Tomita, Laurie Spiegel, Mort Garson, Terry Riley, Harmonia and Kluster—adopting their improvisatory, human approach without resorting to pastiche.

Made largely with vintage analogue gear (Juno‑60, SH‑09, Jupiter‑4, Oberheim and old samplers) and even Danalogue’s first recorded drumming, the production embraces limitation and tactility as a “time bridge” that reinterprets the past through modern sensibilities. Highlights include the single “Far Beyond The Sun” (a space‑age ballad with lo‑fi vocals), the driving “Moebius Triptych,” and contemplative pieces like “Arrival at Rho Ophiuchi.” More than a personal catharsis, the album is a cultural response to noise and digital overload, proposing imagination and deep listening as radical acts and offering hope through the possibility of dreaming new realities.
