Double vinyl version, featuring an exclusive bonus track. Limited, hand-numbered edition of 500 copies. This is the second album by Cologne's multi-dimensional, creatively-active DJ/producer/artist/curator Glitterbug. Privilege is a milestone that continues Glitterbug's line of adventurous sounds and overflowing inspirations, exploring and uncovering the new frontiers of techno. Glitterbug's debut album Supershelter (CSIDES 002CD) made huge waves with music critics, magazines and fans around the globe. His subsequent EP Dim Flares and remixes kept unraveling his musical surprises and an unmatched sound of an epic Glitterbug world. Privilege is an emotional and passionate production, and Glitterbug's sensitivity to sounds keeps unraveling and revealing a unique language that spans between abstract composition, ambient, pop music, and the one ingredient that binds it all: techno. Glitterbug takes the listener on a journey to explore new terrains, inverted and unconditional, drawing the full attention of every nerve and sense. If Supershelter was still searching for a refuge, Privilege goes farther, to explore alternative prospective landscapes and uncharted territories of unearthly lands. This album was produced partly in Glitterbug's Cologne recording studio and partly on the road during his international performance tours in 2009 between the Arctic Circle, southern India, Israel, Europe and China (and everywhere in between). Fragments of field recordings he took in these places appear on many of the tracks -- some are apparent, others very subtle. Includes a stunning 12-page CD-sized booklet by internationally-acclaimed Israeli visual artist and photographer, Ronni Shendar. Shendar's photos and artwork perfectly mirror the album's foreign terrains of blurring and desolate horizons.
