Now remastered and packaged with seven bonus tracks, an excellent new edition of Does It Look Like I’m Here? renews a monumental modern synth record. The remaster from renowned engineer Heba Kadry (Björk, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tim Hecker) brings some added depth and fullness to the frequencies. Propulsive songs like “Double Helix” and the title track have a fresh airiness without losing their weight. “Now You See Me,” the closest we get to an Emeralds ballad, sounds more tender and gentle with a better balance of the central guitar chords, synth pads, and vocal swells. McGuire’s guitar strums in “Goes By” are warmer, nestled deep within the slow-moving synth drift. Such updates aren’t blatantly obvious, but they bring subtle details that reward deeper listening.
The bonus tracks joining the original 12 include languid ambient meditations (“Escape Wheel,” “Lake Effect Snow”) and slow-building electronic whorls (“August (Extended),” “In Love”), rounded out by two excellent remixes that Dan Snaith produced in 2012 under his club-minded alias Daphni. But the showstopper is the 28-minute “Genetic (Rehearsal),” a song that seems to encompass Emeralds’ sphere of influence. The proggy inclinations of Tangerine Dream shine through the circuitous guitar; watery synth noise and galactic drones reflect Klaus Schulze’s analog sound design. And when the core arpeggiations drop away and the music begins to bask in a spacey float, echoes of Cluster and Fennesz rattle across the spectrum. For all its indulgence, the extended version still doesn’t overshadow the more concise 12-minute original; none of the additional tracks here can compare to the main event. But having more readily available Emeralds music from the most important era of their career is no bad thing.
Since disbanding in 2013, all three members of Emeralds have continued to release their own music. Hauschildt’s six solo albums span kosmische, ambient, and synth-pop. As Imaginary Softwoods, Elliott has burrowed deep into the possibilities of psychedelic electronic music. And McGuire’s constant stream of cosmic guitar experiments unfolds like a collection of daily devotionals. Each has brought the supernatural essence of Emeralds to a different destination, and the expanded remaster of Does It Look Like I’m Here? is the ideal place to begin to retrace those winding paths. As a career inflection point and catalyst for contemporary synth music, it stands as canon. As a pure listening experience, it begs to be unrecognizable.
