A year after the release of his Behind LP (ORN 027NE-LP), youAND:THEMACHINES presents Behind Reshaped -- an opulent collection of selected edits, interpretations, and remixes courtesy of a prestigious roster of distinguished producers including Matthew Herbert, Steve Bug, XDB, Boo Williams, Sascha Dive, Legowelt and Basic Soul Unit, amongst many more. youAND:THEMACHINES is the solo project of Martin Müller -- one-half of the Berlin-based luminaries youANDme, who have enjoyed success through official works for the likes of Moodymann, Seth Troxler and Radio Slave and through releases on labels such as Ornaments, Cocoon and Rekids. It was back in June 2013 that Martin's Behind first saw the light of night; an enthralling insight into his mind and his equipment built using Roland drum machines, the Moog Voyager and the Roland Alpha Juno, amongst many other analog pieces. Released through long-term affiliates Ornaments, Martin's debut LP was received with tremendous appreciation as a laudable achievement in brooding and physical machine music by the likes of Laurent Garnier, Steve Bug, Scuba, and Âme, to name a few. Behind Reshaped mines deep beneath the original's surface and is a varied compound of textures, tones and atmospheres. From Steve Bug's glacial "Raw and Reduced" edit of "Drift" to The Analog Roland Orchestra's allaying take on "Desire" and from XDB's armoured and clap-heavy remix of "Perception" to Freund Der Familie's lucidly textural version of "Entrance Room," the listener is ferried through a broad spectrum of feeling while a spectral and rueful current remains consistent. Bolstered with labor-of-love extras including 333 hand-painted artwork editions (3x12") with each cover bearing a unique painting and stamped number.

This is the "Normal Edition" without the added bonus CD. youAND:THEMACHINES is the solo project of Martin Müller, who is one-half of youANDme. Behind is his debut album on Ornaments and is a mirror of all his influences from dub techno, ambient, downbeat, Detroit techno and house music. Never before has Martin incorporated his music so much in analog hardware, field recordings and hidden messages. He has invited orchestral musicians to collaborate on the project and one of his main ideas was to use no samples and generate every sound with a range of classic analog instruments using modern techniques from 2013 without losing the old spirit. Guest vocal collaborations from around the world include Robert Owens, Brothers' Vibe, Delhia de France, Keter Darker and Bajka -- each of them add their unique character to the album, indulging the listener in new mystical directions. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.
