Rafael Toral – Sound Mind Sound Body

In 1987, Rafael Toral began making his own compo- sitions and solo recordings using electric guitar in an enhanced signal path. In the time since then, he has developed his conceptions, first as a guitar improviser, then in what he called his "Space Program", utilizing self- made electronic modules. 2024's Spectral Evolution was a much-acclaimed return to guitar voicings and improvi- sations, edified by his further explorations in electronic sound. In the wake of his extraordinary new music comes a new set of CD masters for Rafael's first two albums, Sound Mind Sound Body and Wave Field, alongside represses of the 2018 vinyl remas- ters for both. Nearly 40 years later, these record- ings sound remarkably prescient and perfectly timeless - fresher today than when they were first released!
