ADAM F	Colours Revisited (Red Color Vinyl)	3LP	181 RECORDINGS	181 001R-LP
$65.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/21/2025 Triple LP version. Red color vinyl version. Colours Revisited, a revision of Adam F's MOBO Award-winning 1997 debut album, is a story of musical rebirth and passion. Adam F, realizing that Colours had found a new audience -- partly thanks to artists like PinkPantheress -- decided to recreate the album. Instead of simply remastering the tracks, Adam went all in. Over two years, he meticulously reworked the original music, from restoring vintage instruments like his Fender Rhodes piano to enlisting UK jazz legends like Julian Joseph. Vocalists including Kirsty Hawkshaw and the late MC Conrad re-recorded their parts, while new solos from world-class musicians added fresh life to the tracks. "Colours holds a special place in my heart because it was not only my first solo album, but also because I had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse talents," says the seminal producer on his ground-breaking album. "Musicians of a caliber such as Dave Ital (Guitars), The Jazz Great Julian Joseph (Keyboards and Fender Rhodes), MC Conrad (MC/Artist), Roni Jordan, Tim Philbert/Tim the Bass (Bass), Greg Leicester (Bass), Maurice Capillaire/MC MC (Live MC)." The revisited album deftly weaves together the energy of new live instrumentation with the '80s British electronica and jazz fusion inspired sounds of the original. The result is a project which not only brings the album into the glistening present but somehow manages to add further depth and sense of understanding of the original Colours, the influences latent within it and how and why it has gone on to influence so many others since its inception throughout the world. This is a must have album which pays homage to what has become a cornerstone of British electronic music history.

ORFEON GAGARIN	Orfeon Gagarin & The Supermoon Orchestra	LP	GEOMETRICK	GR 2161LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/14/2025 Geometrik Records in association with Munster Records presents the new album by Orfeon Gagarin, Miguel A. Ruiz's main project, one of the leading names in experimental music in Spain, a true pioneer of the risky and underground Spanish electronic music scene since the early eighties. Limited edition of 250 copies. In 1986 Miguel A. Ruiz released his first cassette on his own label Toracic Tapes. Since then, he has remained active in the international network of underground electronic music. He has composed many solo albums in all formats, especially on cassette, under different names such as Funeral Souvenir, Exhaustor, Michel Des Airlines, Ventral Metaphor, Orfeon Gagarin, and his own: Miguel A. Ruiz. His first vinyl LP was Encuentros en la Tercera Edad (1991) produced by the German electronics master Asmus Tietchens on his label Hamburger Musikgesellschaft. In the following years, and up to the present day, he has published with other respected international labels like, Old Europa Café, Aquarelist, Monochrome Vision, Menstrual Recordings, Abstrakce, and Geometrik Records. Ruiz has also collaborated with musicians all over the world such as Cisfinitum (Codachrom), Siegmar Fricke (Efficient Refineries) Dieter Mauson, Francisco López and Stefano Barban. Ruiz's style is fantastic and surprising, with an imagination that can be considered overwhelming. Science, technology, Soviet space era, Borges, surrealism, clinical pathologies, black humor or extra-planetary life, whatever eccentricity has a place within the microcosm of this artist. His music is considered bizarre, surreal, dark and funny at the same time, using in a very personal and original way very different styles in an amazing and unique universe. After the last two albums as Orfeon Gagarin, he presents a new album: Orfeon Gagarin & The Supermoon Orchestra, which includes eight gems of extraterrestrial electronic pseudo-pop. The perfect music for an intergalactic party, where he shows his fascination of the sonic possibilities of old synthesizers and other analog electronic instruments.

VA	Ambientale (Compiled by Charles Bals)	CD	BUREAU B	BB 395CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/7/2025 Collector, seeker and storyteller Charles Bals brings his curatorial finesse to Hamburg's Bureau B with Ambientale, a journey into otherworldly sounds from the years 1983-2000. Drifting effortlessly between digital exoticism, mellow fusion, new age groove and library electronics, the pieces range from largely obscure to utterly un-google-able, and coalesce into a stunning soundtrack to tranquil seas, desert sand and starlit skies. Cinematic and enigmatic, Ambientale is a stranger you've only just met but can't stop thinking about. A familiar face to those who dwell in the deep end of the record pool, Charles is an obsessive digger, always on the track of an otherwise unheard sound. Through two trips to "Club Meduse" and star-crossed lovers "America Dream Reserve" and "Black Rain," he's also established himself as a mixtape auteur, weaving together the strange and beautiful into evocative compilations that transport listeners to distinct, imaginative realms. While his previous sets resembled Super-8 vignettes, populated by sun-kissed hedonists and drifting outsiders, Ambientale sees Charles leave the human world behind, exploring all the world's wilderness on the scale of an IMAX epic. Bals opens his sonic travelogue with the bamboo flutes and resonant gongs of esteemed Italian maestro Luigi Ceccarelli, joined by the clean lines and Eastern tonalities of the little-known RanōBoru. The journey deepens with a double-feature from Tokyo composer Akira Mitake, sliding from dreamy New Age soundscapes into the lush groove of floral fusion. Digital rhythms and snaking bass add a Latin accent to the bouzouki of Individual Sensitivity's "Greece Ambientale," while the lilting percussion and shimmering synths of Steve Shehan's smooth jazz rarity "Evening In The Sahara" segue perfectly into a masterpiece of French Balearic from Private Joke. A smoky saxophone rises like mist, echoing through the rainfall on Adriano Maria Vitali's "Velvet Blue Circles," before Masami Tsuchiya pulls listeners into the depths with the aquatic ambience of 1983's "Never Mind," its electronic palette the perfect vehicle to ensure that Akira Mitake's "Spectrum" surprises, rather than startles, with its booming machine drums a superb point of difference. From there, we wander once more into the digital undergrowth, exploring the mystical and magical sounds of the Italian library ensemble Gruppo Sound, along with a rare glimpse of Blue Note new age from Gil Mellé. Police sirens and street noise signal our return to the city, forming the backdrop to the tumbling drums and moody electronic stabs of "Ship Out" by Ferris Wheel, an utterly unknown piece rumored to be a promotional track from a Venezuelan garbage company -- the final twist of intrigue to this otherworldly voyage.

LORENZ, RUDIGER	Synrise: Early Tape Recordings 1981-83	CD	BUREAU B	BB 474CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/31/2025 "If you're already aware of Rüdiger Lorenz, chances are you washed ashore on Southland, his cult kosmische curio graciously reissued by the ever-benevolent Bureau B in the middle of the last decade. Either that, or you're one of the few hundred electronic music obsessives who encountered his work the first-time round, giddily grabbing up the eighteen cassette, vinyl and CD releases the prolific part-timer delivered DIY style on his Syntape and Syncord imprints between 1981-1998. I say this because despite a catalogue both copious and singular, and a renewed interest amongst the switched on and tuned in since his premature passing in 2000, Rüdiger's reception has remained sadly subterranean -- another example of audio inequity. As such, it falls to Synrise, attentively assembled by Rüdiger's son Tim, to shine some rightful light on this unique talent. Although Rüdiger impressed as a member of a local beat group in the seventies, growing exposure to the likes of Neu!, Tangerine Dream, Reich, and Riley pushed him towards the electronic and experimental, a style more suited to his solitary temperament. Unsurprisingly for a man who made eighteen solo albums around his day job, Lorenz was something of a loner, though it's hard to hear that through the emotional resonance of his releases. His search for sonic expression led him to overcome his lack of electrical knowhow, boldly soldering on to create organs, effects units and self-built modular systems, each in service to his specific sound. What then, specifically, is the sound of Synrise? Selected from his first four releases, Queen of Saba (1981), Silver Steps (1981), Wonderflower (1982) and Earthrise (1983), this septet boasts sci-fi anthems and sine wave requiems, nebulous cosmic collages of snapping rhythm boxes, gurgling sequences and synthesized choirs? Though originally released across four different cassettes, these seven tracks all belong to the same sonic universe -- just not the universe we're living in." --Patrick Ryder

VIAN & MAALEM NAJIB SOUDANI, PEDRO	Mogador	LP	MODERN OBSCURE MUSIC	MOM 054LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/31/2025 Pedro Vian and Maalem Najib Soudani's Mogador: a fusion of analog electronic music and traditional gnawa sounds. Mogador stands as a compelling exploration of the intersection between seemingly irreconcilable musical worlds; the experimental realm of analog electronic music and the deep-rooted tradition of Gnawa. This project is more than just a juxtaposition of styles; it's a meeting of minds where the ancient and the modern, the analog and the organic, are woven together into a seamless auditory dialogue. What truly sets Mogador apart is the way Pedro Vian's use of the EMS AKS Synthi and Buchla doesn't overpower the mix but instead forms a perfect synergy with Maalem Najib Soudani's qrebeb and guimbiri. Rather than competing, the analog pulses intertwine with the hypnotic lines of the traditional instruments, amplifying the trance-inducing qualities inherent in Gnawa music. Maalem's vocals, steeped in history and spirituality, float over layers of synths that feel both ethereal and tangible, crafting a soundscape that is as cinematic as it is visceral. This is not just a collision of cultures or a superficial fusion exercise. Mogador represents a genuine dialogue between two ways of understanding sound and space, where every element -- from the syncopated percussion to the serpentine modular waves -- contributes to a sonic landscape that is both haunting and profoundly resonant. Here, tradition isn't a museum piece, and analog electronics aren't a rootless futurism; instead, they transform each other, creating something greater than the sum of their parts.

POLYNATION	Bloom	12"	ATOMNATION	ATMV 122EP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/31/2025 Dutch electronic music duo Polynation returns to Atomnation with Bloom, a new EP featuring guest appearances from Itai Weissman and Eric Vloeimans. Polynation has always employed a wide range of gear to make their music, from synths, bass, guitar, and pedals to their unmistakable use of acoustic drums. This time, they have guest musicians Eric Vloeimans on trumpet and Itai Weissman playing saxophone and EWI -- a digital wind instrument. The EP is their investigation into the symbiosis between electronically generated sounds and acoustic wind instruments. It finds them playing wind instruments in unconventional ways to mimic the language of a synthesizer and contrasting them with electronic sounds that breathe and feel alive, as if acoustic. "We are particularly interested in the sonic world where the boundaries between electronic and acoustic sounds begin to blur," they explain. They now take that concept one step further on this latest outing. Bloom is another deep dive into the adventurous sonic alchemy of the continually innovative Polynation.

ARCHITECTURAL	Good Night, Whatever That Is	12"	TURBO RECORDINGS	TURBO 236EP
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/31/2025 Years of simmering mutual admiration between Turbo and Architectural finally erupt with Good Night, Whatever That Is, the Asturian producer's first release on the label. Nothing gets Turbo hot and bothered like the prospect of featuring a true artist on the label. The Good Night, Whatever That Is EP imbues the timeless platonic forms of techno with an energy, craft and depth that will feel instantly familiar to anyone who has built a cathedral with their bare hands. And yet the unadulterated power of lead single "Steampunk" and the even-less-adulterated power of "Tubular Funk" confirm that this release also has one foot squarely planted on the secular dance floor, coursing with the searing bio-fluids that drive and torment all sexual beings. Meanwhile, your deep human need for contrast will be sated by the IDM-ambient euphorics of "Eternity Land" and the highbrow breaks of "Rousing Rhythms."

PEVERELIST	Pulse Echo	12"	LIVITY SOUND RECORDINGS	LIVITY 066EP
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/31/2025 The fourth instalment in Pev's Pulse series finds him further widening the scope of his sound as he touches on the distinct energies which inform his unique strain of soundsystem techno. "Pulse XIII" deals in stark, tweaked-out acid lines cutting through a taut drum machine backbone, balanced out with a sci-fi pad which lets you know its Pev at the controls. "Pulse XIV" finds him dialing up his jungle roots once more for a dreamy excursion into diced up breaks, cascading synths and dislocated piano chord chops. There's a deeper dub techno spirit to "Pulse XV" and "Pulse XVI" deals in the raw, bleep-informed jack tracks that have started to creep into Pev's sound as the Pulse series has evolved. Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.

DINA SUMMER	Girls Gang	LP	IPTAMENOS DISCOS	IDI 021LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 LP version. White color vinyl. Berlin-based synth-wave band Dina Summer returns with their highly anticipated second album Girls Gang. Donning a decadent sound described by Resident Advisor as "dark disco meets EBM," Dina Summer is a collaborative project formed of electro-punk band Frittenbude member Kalipo and dark-disco DJ and producer duo Local Suicide. Their previous work includes the critically acclaimed 2022 album Rimini, which offers a nostalgic dive into retro disco vibes, along with the 2021 EP Who Am I and 2024 EP Hide & Seek. They also contributed to Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx compilation, participated in Purple Mag x radiooooo's 2070 project, and performed at Reeperbahn Festival's prestigious "Collide Session." With millions of streams and worldwide radio airplay, Dina Summer's music has been supported by DJs like Charlotte De Witte, The Hacker, Âme, Dixon, Joris Voorn, DJ Hell, Joyce Muniz, and Dubfire. This new album is a versatile collection of 11 tracks that delve into themes such as empowerment ("No More Tears" and "Girls Gang"), outsiderhood ("Alien" and "Zombie"), impermanence ("Promise," featuring Curses and Joshua Murphy), nostalgia ("Halkidiki"), and relationships ("Nothing To Hide" and "Hypnotized"). While their debut album was characterized by its club-centric sound, drawing from Italo disco and '90s electro influences, this new release explores a richer palette of new wave, post-punk, and synth-pop.

GREEN COSMOS	Abendmusiken	LP	FREDERIKSBERG RECORDS	FRB 017LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 The music of Green Cosmos makes listeners realize that their never-ending quest for love can find fulfillment. You take a long, slow breath and feel the magic of transcendent wisdom. It's like looking up from your room to the brightly lit windows of the home of your neighbors. Might someone be standing there, watching? Listen to Abendmusiken and imagine what life would be like if you were one again with God's original ideas. Green Cosmos enchant listeners with their blend of jazz, the sound of heartbeats, emotional outburst, and folk-music. There is not one note too many, and everything gets to the heart of the matter. A saxophone that sails ahead on a world-map of sound, driven by the beat of Kalimba and drums, sometimes fraternizing with a bass that's now insistent and then shy, and closely listens to a reassuringly omniscient piano until the music merges into a unit that's greater than its parts. It's no exaggeration to say that this band has created something new and unique, and that the excellence of the moment got captured in this recording. This, quite simply, is beautiful and exciting music that steers us through the night. And if you are standing by a window seeing someone looking at you from their window -- give them a wave!

JESHI	Airbag Woke Me Up	LP	BECAUSE MUSIC	BEC 5614144
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 Back in December 2016, Jeshi fell asleep whilst driving home from a party at 5am, and he crashed into a park car, only to be woken up by the airbag exploding in his face. This is the inspiration for album two. The new album is a statement of waking up and levelling up from the last period of his life. This is a new era, and full of energy. Jeshi doesn't run away from fire; he runs with it. The East London artist is on a quest to feel alive in every sense. To him, feeling alive means being present in each experience, no matter how challenging. For Jeshi -- who has spent the last few years establishing himself as one of the most exciting voices of his generation -- this is what life and art are all about. Chaos, then, is not something to shy away from, but where great ideas are born. Jeshi's electrifying second album, Airbag Woke Me Up is a collection of moment-capturing songs built to ignite reactions and start conversations. His scene-stealing jaunts to stages worldwide clearly influence its live-wire sound, as Jeshi and his cohorts smash through moods and tempos like kids let loose on funfair dodgems. "I want to make things that have intent and feel like statements," Jeshi declares. His versatile voice is the conductive thread that pulls everything together. "On Universal Credit, my voice was used in one way, whereas on this it's used in ten ways," he notes. Airbag Woke Me Up is an exploration into what happens when you emerge from tough times, and how they encourage you to view the world a little differently. It's bolder in ambition and built from renewed energy. Chaotic, but in the very best way. "In my head, this is the real arrival chapter," states Jeshi. "The 'I am here, I've arrived' moment." Featuring Leilah, Chassol, Sainté, Elijah Waters, Fredwave, Louis Culture, and J.Caesar.

DIE WILDE JAGD	Atem (Color Vinyl)	LP	BUREAU B	BB 402LTD-LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 Die Wilde Jagd is the music project of producer and songwriter Sebastian Lee Philipp. Channeling minimalist, tenebrous intensity, Die Wilde Jagd's music weaves a dense and atmospheric web of drama, romance, ecstasy and melancholy. After three studio albums, several EPs and numerous international tours and concerts, the band released the recording of Atem 2022 on Bureau B -- a Roadburn Festival commission that premiered in Tilburg, Netherlands, in April 2021. After the record sold out, the label is pleased to make it available again as a limited color yellow transparent repress. Written for wooden organ pipes, cello, percussion and electronics. A composition commissioned by Roadburn Festival. Performed by Sebastian Lee Philipp, Lih Qun Wong, and Ran Levari. An audacious 45-minute trip into the depths of evolution, organism and metabolism, this piece is an exploration of the mechanism and science of breathing and its essential role in life. Philipp himself plays synthesizers and an instrument developed specifically for the performance: a wooden organ pipe construction operated with an air compressor. The composer is joined on stage by collaborators Lih Qun Wong on cello and voice, as well as Ran Levari (who has played drums in Die Wilde Jagd since 2017) on percussion. Speaking of his composition, Philipp says: "As human evolution enters new realms of reality, I find myself drawn to explore the basic essences of life: the things we are made of, that we take for granted and are, yet, still full of mystery. The parallels between breath and music are undeniable: pace, rhythm, volume and dynamic fluctuations influence us deeply. Breath is the elixir of life and the fuel for one of the most primitive vibrations: the human voice." The themes of creation and spirit within the composition are skillfully enhanced by Turkish visual artist Mürsel Güven.

HINATA, DAISUKE	Tarzanland	LP	WRWTFWW RECORDS	WRWTFWW 073LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 WRWTFWW Records presents its third collaboration with Japanese electronic/ambient/synth-pop crew Interior, this time with the release of band member Daisuke Hinata's forgotten solo treasure from 1989: Tarzanland. The feel-good/smooth ride LP is available as a limited-edition turquoise and light pink vinyl housed in a heavyweight 350gsm sleeve with obi strip. Available on vinyl for the first time ever, Tarzanland is late '80s California sun-soaked kankyō ongaku, minimalistic proto-chillwave, the synth melody of a pleasant Sunday breeze as the ocean waves breathe in and breathe out. Steve Winwood and Steely Dan come to mind as the ambient sound design of an imaginary John Hughes movie unfolds as all pieces of the puzzle come together for a blissful journey of simple pleasures. Daisuke Hinata is a Grammy-nominated artist, composer, producer, and member of Interior. This is WRWTFWW's third release centered around the work of the band, following the reissue of their Haruomi Hosono-produced self-titled debut (1982) and the first release ever of Sculpture of Time (Apocalypse), their rarely heard before commissioned piece for German environmental artist NILS-UDO.

BRUEDER SELKE & MIDORI HIRANO	Split Scale (Clear Vinyl)	LP	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 626X-LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 LP version. Clear color vinyl. "Midori Hirano and Brueder Selke's debut album Split Scale unites two artists who share both inimitable skill and depth of expression. Pillars of Berlin's new music community and globally lauded composers, they each share a background in classical tradition while practicing on the cutting edge of modern music. Split Scale is an elegant emotive ambient album built primarily from pianos and cello and electronics. After tracks on Longform Editions and the creation and curation of the Q3Ambientfest, this power pairing should be an immediate hit with fans of quality ambient or minimal modern music. As Brueder Selke, the polymath duo brothers Daniel and Sebastian Selke's interdisciplinary partnerships are vast and include classical institutions like the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie and Filmorchester Babelsberg. The brothers have additionally been working as musical directors of the Schaffrath Chamber Orchestra and curating their own festival Q3Ambientfest which has featured the likes of fellow artists such as Laura Cannell, Mabe Fratti/Resina, Jules Reidy, Grand River, Yair Elazar Glotman, and now-collaborator Midori Hirano. Midori Hirano's mastery of sound sculpting has put her in high demand as a composer for film and television, including recent soundtracks for All or Nothing, Tokito, and a documentary on the Premier League, alongside astounding collaborations with artists including Hprizm of Anti Pop Consortium and Ilpo Väisänen of Pan Sonic. In addition to her own composing, Hirano has remixed the likes of Robot Koch and Rival Consoles. Split Scale, the group's first album together, follows a series of live collaborations. The artists chose a simple concept, following a western scale from beginning to end, and from this created a suite of sublime, synesthetic soundscapes and cinematic movements. The vivid tapestry of sound and color is luminous and emotive. "at once familiar and odd, with the ineffable quality of a dream" --Time Magazine on Midori Hirano "they explore texture -- creaking strings, bashed wood, triple stopping -- over minimal one-chord drones with a horror-movie intensity." - The Guardian on Brueder Selke

EXPOSE	ETC	LP	QUINDI RECORDS	QUI 016LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 In a continued disruption to the airwaves following releases from Bondo and Monde UFO, Quindi returns to the Californian noise rock scene-not-scene to dig on the gnarled riffs of Expose. On their new release, the LA outfit double-down on a unique blend of bloated guitar fuzz and grimy analogue synths, and come out with a curiously cosmic kind of kick-ass. If there was a dreamy, sun-bleached quality to Bondo and Monde UFO, their label mates Expose sound more wrought from sweat-drenched jam sessions under halogen strip lights in grease-stained garages. But the guttural quality of their blown-out guitar tone is matched for vibrancy by the dexterity of their playing, bringing angular free jazz to post hardcore and sludge rock, capped off with the unearthly sonic possibilities of flamboyant synthesis. This dual-layered wall of sound lends extra weight to the likes of shit-kicking "Speed Dial," which thunders like a kosmische juggernaut with amped up leads and a dead-eyed vocal condensed into a visceral minute, all with enough time for a dramatic breakdown, synth eruption and a final thrust. Similarly scooped out of the trash compactor, "Description" rides for longer with one foot pressed firmly on the fuzz pedal, letting the electronics squeal around the punked-up rush of the guitars. But Expose are not a one-dimensional band constantly thrashing it out. By contrast, "The Constant" hits a crushing emotional note in its more structured push and pull between delicacy and heaviness, hitting bittersweet notes along the way throughout the peaks and troughs of the arrangement. "Self Terror" washes languid, discordant guitar strum into swirling FX accompanied by sax from Monde UFO's Ray Monde. Smart as a whip, sharp as a tack and boiling over with an untameable urgency, Expose make their presence felt in brilliant, bruising form on this particularly fierce addition to the Quindi catalogue.

DINA SUMMER	Girls Gang	CD	IPTAMENOS DISCOS	IDI 021CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 Berlin-based synth-wave band Dina Summer returns with their highly anticipated second album Girls Gang. Donning a decadent sound described by Resident Advisor as "dark disco meets EBM," Dina Summer is a collaborative project formed of electro-punk band Frittenbude member Kalipo and dark-disco DJ and producer duo Local Suicide. Their previous work includes the critically acclaimed 2022 album Rimini, which offers a nostalgic dive into retro disco vibes, along with the 2021 EP Who Am I and 2024 EP Hide & Seek. They also contributed to Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx compilation, participated in Purple Mag x radiooooo's 2070 project, and performed at Reeperbahn Festival's prestigious "Collide Session." With millions of streams and worldwide radio airplay, Dina Summer's music has been supported by DJs like Charlotte De Witte, The Hacker, Âme, Dixon, Joris Voorn, DJ Hell, Joyce Muniz, and Dubfire. This new album is a versatile collection of 11 tracks that delve into themes such as empowerment ("No More Tears" and "Girls Gang"), outsiderhood ("Alien" and "Zombie"), impermanence ("Promise," featuring Curses and Joshua Murphy), nostalgia ("Halkidiki"), and relationships ("Nothing To Hide" and "Hypnotized"). While their debut album was characterized by its club-centric sound, drawing from Italo disco and '90s electro influences, this new release explores a richer palette of new wave, post-punk, and synth-pop.

DIE WILDE JAGD & METROPOLE ORKEST	Lux Tenera: A Rite To Joy	CD	BUREAU B	BB 476CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/24/2025 Die Wilde Jagd collaborates with Grammy Award-winning Metropole Orkest, conducted by Simon Dobson, for majestic new album Lux Tenera: A Rite To Joy, commissioned by Roadburn Festival. In an extraordinary convergence of sonic innovation and orchestral mastery, Sebastian Lee Philipp, the visionary behind Die Wilde Jagd, presents his most ambitious project to date. This work emerges from a rare collaboration with the three-time Grammy Award-winning Metropole Orkest. Lux Tenera invites listeners into a meditative exploration of life, joy, and the beauty of existence. The composition premiered on April 21, 2024, in Tilburg, Netherlands, following an intense three-day rehearsal and recording period at Metropole Orkest's studio in Hilversum. This performance -- now captured in the album -- also marks a unique collaboration with British arranger and conductor Simon Dobson, whose sensitive transcription and arrangement of Philipp's music for orchestra elevates the work to an auditory spectacle. Lux Tenera -- translated from Latin as "tender light" -- is an odyssey of sound and thought. Philipp's poetic lyrics -- delivered in both English and German -- weave a tapestry of vivid imagery and allusion, guiding the listener through a world where life, memory, and transcendence coalesce. This intellectual and emotional alchemy is heightened by the orchestral elements at play: a 50-piece ensemble, the primal resonance of two large-scale Taiko drums, and the ancient, raw timbre of the Carnyx, performed by Patrick Kenny. The result is a sonic structure that marries the primal with the avant-garde, the physical with the metaphysical. At its heart, Lux Tenera presents a bold reimagining of Die Wilde Jagd's distinctive sound. Known for hypnotic, slow-building compositions that evoke a sense of ritual and timelessness, Philipp, in this latest work, is granted new sonic breadth by the orchestral textures of the Metropole Orkest. The symphonic scope enhances and magnifies his compositions, creating what can only be described as a sonic architecture that is both monumental and intimate, where each crescendo, each subtle melodic turn, guided by Simon Dobson's conducting skills, speaks to Philipp's understanding of music as an emotional language.
