COMPILATION OF REEL 1 AND REEL 2, WITH BONUS TRACKS

This CD only release is a compilation of two acclaimed EPs ('Invisible Soundtracks Volume I' & 'II'), together with four new tracks and several further incidental pieces by Richard Thomas.

The 'Invisible Soundtracks' series was launched in 1995, with a simple brief: contributors (who include both established and new artists) were asked to produce an evocative piece of music for an imaginary film, in whatever style the musician cared to choose. Thus far, two 12" only EPs have been released, the first in July 1995, the second a year later. Both EPs were limited to 1,000 copies each and have now sold out. All tracks are exclusive to the series.

The resulting collection works effectively as a whole, open to the listener's own visual interpretation. This is not ambient music, it's atmospheric music to be listened to with the lights down low, suggesting images of the darkenened hulls of lost spaceships, cocktail bars on Pacific islands or imperial palaces in the Russian Steppes. Hiding behind the settee may or may not be necessary...


Richard Thomas
The Welsh eccentric provides six incidental pieces on Invisible Soundtracks: Macro 1, the glue that holds the collection together. 'Intrusion Reported By Witness' and 'Muffin Spencer-Devlin / Hawaii II' appeared on Volume II, and were his first released recordings. The other four (including the hidden track at the end of the CD), are all available for the first time here. All the tracks were mastered from cassette tape (hence the inherent hiss, which adds to the 'found sound' feel of the tracks). Some are snippets of much longer, more expansive pieces.

Zurich
Zurich are Neil Halstead (of Slowdive/Mojave 3) and Tony 'Spykid' Wilson (Echo Park). 'A Harsh Truth' is the oldest track on IS, recorded in January 1994, and originally appeared on Volume I.
