Christ. is Benbecula's best-selling artist to date, with his 2002 debut classic Pylonesque and follow up full length album Metamorphic Reproduction Miracle in 2003 causing quite a storm. Christ. got some old friends together to help out with a limited vinyl promo for his new album Blue Shift Emissions, and the result is "Vernor Vinge," a track culled from said album along with an exclusive short and two excellent remixes of exclusive tracks. dDamage appear courtesy of Planet Mu and Benbecula label-mate Prhizzm steps in to remix "Happyfour Twenty," a track from the new album. The result is a four track EP that will hopefully spread the word about how excellent his second and long-awaited album really is and yet also step forward as another classic Christ. release in its own right, with three tracks exclusive to this limited run.

Title:	Blue Shift Emissions
Label:	BENBECULA (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	BEN 031CD

This is Scotland-based Christ.'s long-awaited second full-length release on the Benbecula label. Following the intermediate Vernor Vinge EP of 2006 and the Seeing and Doing EP in 2005 which journeyed through an introspective path, Christ.'s new album is a return to the melodic fold and builds upon his unique, individual style that was unleashed to the world via Pylonesque, his outstanding and best-selling Benbecula debut. Blue Shift Emissions glistens with simplistic beauty underpinned by subtle yet expertly crafted washes of sound. Tracks like "Cordate" have been Christ.'s trademark from pre-Benbecula days, and one only has to marvel at the recording of this live, single-take keyboard piece to fully appreciate the influence he has had. Christopher Horne was an early participant in the nebulous Hexagon Sun collective, and as a result collaborated with Boards of Canada, appearing on the Twoism album. Christ. strips back electronic melody to its purest form and when you have the talent, foresight and confidence in the originality of your music, less is definitely more.
