Overview

Essence is the fifth studio album by electronic producer A Guy Called Gerald, which was released on August 14, 2000, through Studio !K7. The album, which initially was intended to be released as Aquarius Rising, is noted for its usage of vocals, something rarely utilized in his previous recordings. According to Gerald Simpson, the album is an attempt for him to focus on melody and songwriting compared to his previous album Black Secret Technology. Background and production Production for the album began in 1996, and was originally intended to be issued through Simpson's personal Juice Box Records imprint under the title Aquarius Rising. In 1997, Simpson signed onto Island Records and the album was then planned to be issued through them, this however would change as the label's parent company, PolyGram Records, went through a change in chairman and President, which caused artists such as Simpson to be dropped. Simpson has described the production for the album to be "therapeutic", as it helped him deal with his decision to leave behind Juice Box Records. By 1998, Simpson moved out to the United States of America, where work recommenced on the album. By this point, Simpson was signed onto Studio !K7, an independent label from Germany which also has an office in New York City, where Simpson was living at the time. During this later stage of production, the album's title would be changed to Essence as Simpson felt it better described how he felt of the tracks being "living entities" that possessed the illusion of obtaining the "essence of life"

Notable quotes

“When we say that God is a spirit, we know what we mean, as well as we do when we say that the pyramids of Egypt are matter. Let us be content, therefore, to believe him to be a spirit, that is, an essence that we know nothing of, in which originally and necessarily reside all energy, all power, all capacity, all activity, all wisdom, all goodness.”
— John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson (17 January 1820)
“One must love humanity in order to reach out into the unique essence of each individual: no one can be too low or too ugly.”
— Georg Büchner, in Lenz (1835)
“Names and attributes must be accommodated to the essence of things, and not the essence to the names, since things come first and names afterwards.”
— Galileo Galilei, as quoted in Discoveries and Opinions of Galileo (1957) by Stillman Drake, p. 92
“No question is here raised as to the true content of this; the question is if one will give assent to the God’s having come into existence, by which the God’s eternal essence is inflected in the dialectical determinations of coming into existence.”
— Søren Kierkegaard, in Philosophical Fragments (1844), The Case of the Contemporary Disciple
“Of myths some are theological, some physical, some psychic, and again some material, and some mixed from these last two. The theological are those myths which use no bodily form but contemplate the very essence of the Gods: e.g., Kronos swallowing his children. Since god is intellectual, and all intellect returns into itself, this myth expresses in allegory the essence of god.”
— Sallustius, in On the Gods and the Cosmos, IV. That the species of myth are five, with examples of each.
“Prestige, which is illusion, is of the very essence of power.”
— Simone Weil, in The Power of Words (1937)
