I’ve always wanted to do one of these for the label each year, but until now we’ve never really had enough output to warrant a decent end of year ‘sampler’. 2019 however saw us release eight records in various formats, so consider this our first of hopefully many annual label compilations.
There’s no hype or deep context needed for this, it’s one track taken from each of those eight releases however, some tracks features some slight edits* / versions as detailed below. Hopefully people will still discover something new, or if you’ve purchased them all already (thank you!) there are some small edits to present a new listening experience.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our music this year and a big thank you to all of the artists included who are along for the ride.
Available to download on Bandcamp for $1.
2019 releases (in reverse chronological order)
Olga Wojciechowska / Infinite Distances 12” Vinyl + Digital - buy
“…Sometimes opposing thoughts can be held in tension, and a person can be two things at once; in such cases, reconciliation is not two halves that make a whole, but two wholes that occupy the same space. In the end, the beauty of Infinite Distances is not distance, but closeness, as Wojciechowska sews seams between past and present, abstract and concrete, composer and listener ~ more intimate than infinite.”
36 / Fade To Grey (Reinterpreted) CD + Digital - buy
*Compilation includes an edited version of Midnight Tether.
“Entering the aural Eden, the primal dystopian “Fade To Grey” scenario by 36 exquisitely shifted into awe-inspiringly drifting dronescape euphoria... ”
Comit / Remote Viewing 2LP Vinyl + Digital - buy
“... a supremely listenable piece of music, as much bespoke made for your mind as for your heart.”
Max Würden / Format 2LP Vinyl + Digital - buy
*Compilation includes an edited version of Constituent Elements
“Though it may sound like hyperbole, the absolute masterpiece that is Format deserves to award Würden a place among the likes of Eno, Laraaji, Jenssen, Budd and Roach, such is the richness of content, diversity of technique and spellbinding atmospheric ambience”
Yagya / Stormur 2LP Vinyl + Digital - buy
*Compilation includes the unmixed vinyl version of Stormur Sex.
“Their combination sparks something particularly unique on ‘Stormur niu‘ – a wonderful shuddering, driver of a track featuring whispered vocals in Japanese from Hatis Noit.”
James Bernard / Atwater (Remixes) Digital - buy
Arovane, Bluetech, Christian Kleine, Comit, Mike Golding (B12), Milieu provide 90’s IDM & electronica takes on the original recording of Atwater.
James Bernard / Atwater 12” Vinyl and Digital - buy
A recording of a modular live set performed by James a year earlier in Los Angeles, brought to life once again.
36 / Fade To Grey 2LP Vinyl and Digital - buy
“Fade To Grey is aware of a deeper need, a deeper yearning, a deeper wish”
