Working with his signature Soviet-era synthesizer, the Formanta-Mini, alongside an array of loop stations, FX pedals, percussive tools, and field recordings, the pieces hiss and shimmer with the tactile haze and bleached dreams of futures past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom simmering fourth world dust (“Moonlight Raga”) and metronomic sci-fi ascensions (“Etherealm”) to eerie dub spelunks (“Mysterious Cave”) and regal primordial exotica (“Elysium”), Saga unspools the scope, subtlety, and sustained hallucinatory powers of Karpov’s transportive artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Not Not Fun","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":54796000723267,"sku":"RPT-31698","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/SRD_20260907_1300_122329_514_p_NNF450_021.jpeg?v=1788789342","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/x-y-r-saga","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
