Limited CD + Blu-Ray edition presented in DVD-sized digi book packaging. Includes the studio album on CD together with a Blu-ray disc of Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround & hi-res stereo mixes of the album. Richard Barbieri remains one of contemporary music's most distinctive voices. Emerging as a key architect of the late '70s/'80s synthesizer revolution with David Sylvian's art-rock ensemble Japan, his visionary synthesizer programming expanded the horizons of electronic music & left a lasting mark on artists from The Human League and Duran Duran to Gary Numan and Talk Talk. His subsequent and ongoing tenure with Steven Wilson's legendary progressive outfit Porcupine Tree further affirmed his status as one of the most intuitive & unique musicians of his generation. 'Hauntings' is Barbieri's first studio album since 2021's 'Under A Spell', deepening the pensive, dark instrumental aesthetic of it's predecessor. A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark & uplifting in equal measure, 'Hauntings' is influenced by a nostalgia for the past & future, & for things that didn't happen yet still manage to haunt the mind & soul. What is real & what is simulation? The album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard & sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere.
