2017 repress. The first record released on Max Richter's new label StudioRichter is a 12" vinyl edition of On The Nature Of Daylight, which is the title track from the soundtrack to Denis Villeneuve's movie Arrival (2016). "On The Nature Of Daylight" was originally featured on Max's landmark album The Blue Notebooks (2004) - its strong anti-war sentiment gels perfectly with the pro-unity theme in Arrival. On The Nature Of Daylight includes both versions of the music; the original quintet recording, and the later recording for full string orchestra. 180 gram vinyl.

German-only vinyl LP. Following the worldwide success of Max Richter's groundbreaking eight-hour work SLEEP (2015), his "personal lullaby for a frenetic world," and the one-hour extract from SLEEP, Richter presents an LP of remixes of the project. The legendary Scottish post-rock band Mogwai transforms Richter's dreamy "Path 5" into a darkly throbbing track, with a snare drum complemented by haunting guitar soundscapes and arpeggiated synthesizer. English electronic musician Clark (Warp Records) also remixes "Path 5," and constructs a sequence of three different, highly insistent musical scenes that send the listener on a heady trip; in Clark's words, "by Danny Elfman on Popol Vuh to Slint, merged in a planet of music." Andy Dobson (Digitonal) is known for largely improvised live performances of classically influenced electronica; he showcases his innovative, melodic sound with his "Theo in Dreamland Mix" of "Path 5." Seattle-based electronic musician and composer Norm Chambers returns to his Jürgen Müller alias following 2011's Science of the Sea (DIGI 034CD) for a dreamy, minimal rearrangement of "Dream 3," using an extensive selection of analog synthesizers and drum machines to create a scene of unearthly beauty. Manchester-based trio Marconi Union have been releasing albums of pristine ambient electronic music since the mid-2000s, and are regarded as pioneers of the genre alongside artists like Helios and Jon Hopkins. Here, they recall the work of Brian Eno with a hypnotic ambient remix of "Dream 13."
