Talk to the Sea is a 2014 compilation album by Italian ambient musician Gigi Masin. It features both released and unreleased material, spanning from 1985 to 2010.
Background and release
Masin self-released the album Wind on his own The Bear on the Moon label in 1986, to very little acclaim or popularity. After the release of the album The Wind Collector in 1991, Masin stopped making music following disappointment with the music scene. Wind later became a sought-after record by crate diggers.
Jamie Tiller of the reissue label Music from Memory discovered Masin's 1986 album Wind while researching Italian electronic music. Tiller got in contact with Masin and received "some 80 tracks", which spanned from the early 80s until recently. Tiller, along with label co-founders Abel Nagengast and Tako Reyenga, spent "literally months" compiling the album from the archival material.
The release of the compilation resulted in a resurgence of Masin's career, which had been stagnant for most of the '90s and '00s. Following the release, Masin started touring internationally and releasing new music after increased interest in his work.
The compilation was later released on CD with six additional tracks; one from Wind and the rest unreleased.
Reception
Paul Simpson of AllMusic gave the album 31⁄2 stars. Simpson praised "Masin's serene, sparse, slowly paced compositions", but noted that the 23 tracks on the CD makes for a "somewhat tiring two-hour listen."
