Title:	Repetitive Digital Noise
Label:	RECOGNITION (POLAND)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	RECOG 018EP

Rare Atom Heart tracks from 1992, with Tetsu Inoue. "18th release on Recognition, label run from Warsaw, Poland by Jacek Sienkiewicz, is a rare and special one. For the first time available on vinyl, there are four tracks recorded more than a decade ago by the mysterious 'I'. This was one of the many aliases of Uwe Schmidt (aka Atom Heart, Senor Coconut, Lisa Carbon...) and a CD released in 1992, titled Repetitive Digital Noise was a major influence on Jacek's sound. Simple, minimal, rough, but careful, haunting and hypnotic, here are four tracks of stripped-down, hallucinogenic, acidic techno, sounding as fresh as years ago. As Recognition releases aim to be equally timeless, this is a perfect moment to refresh what's in the very roots of modern electronic dance music. Tracks were remastered by Atom Heart in Chile this year especially for this limited release. I -- one of the aliases of Uwe Schmidt native German living in Chile, who released millions of records as Atom Heart, Senor Coconut, Lisa Carbon, Los Samplers and few dozen others."

Title:	Wide Road
Label:	SOULDUBSOUNDS
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	SOULDUB 001EP

Remixes by Falko Brockspieper and Soultek. "Originally released in 2001 on Swedish label Nusond but because of distribution problems only 100 copies ever made it out, this marvelous song gets a fine re-release together with two new and stunning remixes. At that point 'I' was the collaborative effort between Erik Möller (of Unai fame) and Rickard Berglöf (aka Vibrasphere). They had long thought of fusing their love of traditional pop and reggae with electronics, and after meeting a vocalist at a club in their hometown of Uppsala, Sweden they decided to give it a go. Wide Road was the unique result."

Title:	Small Words
Label:	SOULDUBSOUNDS
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	SOULDUB 002EP

Remixes by Echospace, Unai & Soultek. "This is the second single culled from the forthcoming One Word album. It draws upon both Vocal City-era Luomo and equal parts Rhythm & Sound and his hybrid of pop-house-dub-fusion. Throughout Small Words, Møller strikes a balance between haunting vocals (á la Luomo), breathtaking melodies & glitchy fragmented instruments which evolve into an exquisitely melancholy house-borne love ballad. First up on this release is a remix by Møller himself under his Unai guise during which he serves up a pleasant 8-minute journey of frigid tech-dub only to have the song melt away into gorgeous melodic funk which is certain to impress fans of Metro Area. On the flip-side we have a mix by Chicago's Soultek who balances Unai's wistful vocals with fractured dub, funky slap bass (reminiscent of Matthew Herbert's earlier productions) & the most contagious hooks you'll ever hear. Closing things off is Detroit's Echospace who provides an extended journey through cavernous echoes, delicious bass and impeccable dub aesthetics."
