Gatefold double LP version with printed inner sleeves and inlay. Limited to 350 copies. Dusty Kid follows his 2013 album III (ISOLA 001CD) with the astonishing Not So Green Fields, a magical journey that stands as his most human and mature work to date. Dusty Kid found his muse in his beloved island, Sardinia, around which he crafts a fantastical, heartfelt, moving narrative. "Not So Green Fields is a story that I've had inside of me for a while," says Dusty Kid. "It is the story of a visitor from a cold northern country who spends a two-week holiday on the island... I introduce him to the land where I was lucky enough to be born." The symphonic percussion and jungle voices of "We are the Troglodytes" precede the launeddas, an ancient Sardinian woodwind instrument, that appears on "Innu." "Fura Prana" floats between the desperate melody of a piano crying for freedom and epic sounds that recall '70s Jarre. On "Masua", the listener jumps into the Sea of Sardinia, following the melody of a sinuous voice from the depths. One voice becomes many, and they intertwine, majestic and psychedelic, to spring from the waters into the sky. At this point, this is no longer a dance album, but a work of pure '70s British progressive rock. The beat continues to slow for the moving "Durke," an uncommonly beautiful ballad that evolves around pop guitars, rock drums, and an emotional mantra sung in Sardinian. On "The Arsonist," which tackles the island's arson problem, dance music returns, but far from typical techno. The track delves into '90s trance, reminiscent of rave parties and the legendary Jam & Spoon. The pathos peaks with "Doa," an emotional, melancholic track drenched in spaghetti western magic to honor Dusty Kid's idol, Ennio Morricone. The cinematic postcard of "Gairo Vecchio 38°C" is an unexpected visit to an abandoned little town under the moon, with a delicate piano-and-trumpet duet over singing crickets. "Arvéschida" is 135 BPM of pure poetry that blends the most entrancing techno with the most lysergic trance. It's a flock of seagulls seen from a hang-glider, pure hedonistic and methamphetaminic emotion. Closer "Not So Green Fields" reflects Dusty Kid's passion for American folk music, in an ode to Sardinia, its warm summers, and its blue sky. Dusty Kid steps away from modern techno trends with mastery and confidence, exploring diverse territories in a powerfully cohesive album.

ISOLA 004EP

Dusty Kid follows his 2013 album III (ISOLA 001CD) with an homage to his native land, Sardinia, touching upon an issue that haunts the island every summer: arson. "The Arsonist Part 2" delves into '90s trance, reminiscent of rave parties and the legendary Jam & Spoon. The pathos peaks with "Doa," an emotional, melancholic track drenched in spaghetti western magic, honoring Dusty Kid's idol, Ennio Morricone. The balearic notes of "Serpentara" recall the likes of "Sueño Latino," 1988's summer of love, and Ibiza, when ravers needed a break from hysteric acid house in favor of softer and dreamier sounds.

ISOLA 003EP

The new Isolade release by Dusty Kid is a strictly Sardinian affair (all involved artists are from Sardinia) with tracks and remixes as varied as the island itself. In a playtime of 32 minutes you will experience magical, ambient, pushing, chilling or rough moments depending on the track/mix you hear. From the dancefloor hit "Omega X" to the rough and dry version of the same track remixed by Claudio PRC and from the reduced but spheric Hubble remix of "Escape" to the gorgeous and epic Saffron Keira reinterpretation of "Sandalyon."

With "Doom" and "Arachnotron," you will meet the straight, clear and uncompromising side of Dusty Kid, which can be described as dark techno with have a certain Berghain feeling. On the flip you will listen to the indefinable and impalpable side of the Kid, featuring deep musical abysses.

III -- Dusty Kid's third album -- is a cinematic experience of almost two hours listening conceived as a single piece of music, like a wall of bricks that strictly belong to each other to give the whole album a well-defined story. The album, mixed by using a few different vintage consoles and recording everything on a reel-to-reel tape in order to get a more alive and lo-fi result, moves toward a very underground feeling. There are no easy-listening melodies, but it rather sounds like a saga of dirty, confused, delirious, sometimes bizarre and ridiculous, very dark techno moments. III recalls a noir-horror-fantasy movie. The sinister calm of the opening, made of the leftfield acid ambient landscapes and industrial noises of the first four tracks, announces that something is going to happen and leads the listener into a further level of the game where entrance is initially restrained by a man at the door, "He Won't Let You In." Then comes "Leather Bears Cinematic Suite." The five-track "suite" is a deep journey into '90s techno with its first track, "Doom," being an almost metallurgical hell as the listener climbs the stairs that will lead him into the main scene. "Pandemonium" and "Dark Room" really seem to drive the listener inside a wonderfully-painted idea of what's going on in there. As the listener takes the "Exit 12," the journey goes even deeper into the '90s techno sound. "Yota Wave" is in fact a skillfully grotesque recreation of a futuristic techno trance experimentalism of the early Plus 8 records. "In the Wood" sounds like a track recorded from the radio with a poor quality cassette, the triad "Prelude," "Omega Y," and "Omega X" flow into each other, but in a concentric way, as if they were part of a single planetary system. "Escape" follows in the same key as the previous triad with a flying ethereal atmosphere followed by a massive tribal anthem as "Idklip" simply explodes. "Ending" leads the listener to the light at the end of this journey.
