remaster 2022

So, not quite the new album we were all hoping for, but with 2 brand new tracks, plus the 2 tracks lifted from the Ulysses EP (for the first time on cd) and 7 remixes (from Colleen, Sutekh, Deathprod, Fax, Icarus and more) - it's ample food to keep you going for quite some time. Murcof's blend of classical plucked strings and electronic layering has been so influential on its surroundings that the sound has almost slipped into musical cliché. The new tracks on board offer a tantalising glimpse of what may follow - a masterful command of spacious string arrangments and dark, almost intrusive broken soundscapes. The remixes are also chosen with much sensitivity and good taste, excellent broken house arrangements by Sutekh and Fax (previously available on the Utopia 12"), while Colleen strips "Muim" right down to a whisper of strings and delictae piano cascades (amazing stuff), and Biosphere collaborator Deathprod harnesses the sound into a buzzing mass of textured ambience, making for a shimmering beast of organic drone that's just breathtaking. Excellent stuff from Murcof and co, now bring on the new album...pleaseeee.
