info wydawcy:



'Branches and Routes' is a stunning and adventurous compilation that stretches its scope across the six years of FatCat's existence as a label. Serving as a neat introduction to FatCat, the compilation showcases material from the label's past, present and future. As well as the inclusion of such classic tracks as Múm's 'Green Grass Of Tunnel', Funkstörung's remix of Björk's 'All Is Full Of Love', Set Fire To Flames' 'Steal Compass?', and Matmos' 'Freak N You', there are unreleased exclusive tracks from Sigur Rós, Drowsy and Stromba, as well as forthcoming ones from Crescent, HiM, and Party Of One.



With 27 tracks running over 2 hours, the compilation offers great value, and witnesses the broad diversity of sounds, styles and approaches that FatCat and its imprints (Splinter Series / 130701 / Split Series / 7” Series / E-RMX) have nurtured: from divergent forms of electronica to all manner of post-rock construction; downtempo breaks to minimal techno; sparse piano compositions to explosive noise outbursts and angular punk pop / funk.
