Reissue, originally released in 2005. Vector Lovers has remained a firm favorite of the underground electronic music scene cognoscenti and holds a coveted place among the most hallowed of record shelves, and with good reason. Since the early 2000s, Martin Wheeler has explored a sparse audio wasteland in order to develop a new sonic palette that looks outward to electro, IDM, and ambient. After self-releasing a handful of his own productions on the Iwari label, Wheeler's career-defining album was signed by British label Soma in 2005, leading to the first great revival of '90s IDM. Capsule For One was an unrivalled masterpiece that perfectly synthesized the heritage of the hardcore continuum with renewed airs and degree of clarity that ushered in a new millennia and sound. It arrived as a worthy successor to the venerated Warp artists of the time, while embracing new panoramas and technologies. Capsule For One is a melancholic album, with an almost cosmic spirituality that provokes daydreaming. From its opening track "City Lights From a Train" it welcomes the listener onto an infinite journey at the speed of light, connecting the past, present and future, folding time and space and painting neon cities populated by cyborgs. The album reaches its zenith with "Melodies and Memory", featuring Wheeler's very own voice, which has arguably become one of this century's greatest electronic ballads to date. In fact, the impact of Capsule For One was such that Tracey Thorn commissioned him to produce her song "Easy", from the album Out of the Woods (Virgin, 2007). For its forthcoming release on Lapsus Records, Martin Wheeler has remixed each and every song on Capsule For One, as well as adding two previously unreleased tracks "A Simulation" and "Perfect Score", both produced around the same epoch. This extra special release, with artwork redesigned by Josep Basora, features marbled vinyl and a limited edition insert print.
