2) Soleil Kelley is a multi-instrumental artist. Kelley plays all the notes on his record, Abstraction, which is dominated by keyboards though occasional bright, upper register electric bass and trumpet melodies emerge amongst the many somnambulant samples and synthetic blips and bleeps. Akin to Air, solo Ian Brown, latter day Depeche Mode, (and a few of the more tempered Seal releases), Soleil’s subtlety becomes his key weapon. The instrumental tracks, most notably “I Salute You,” are evocative of Eno/Bowie’s mid-70s soul soundscapes, and “Take Me There” approximates the jazzy brilliance of Ray Manzarek.
3) Arai Tasuku has made one album (Soleil) under this artist name.
