Once again Northern Powerhouse provide a rough gem of rustic, handcrafted, Yorkshire electronics. The artisinal vision of an audio signal which could fit onto vinyl without distortions or jumps, was achieved once more with expert finishing by Dr Spaventi, in the Netherlands. Additional dealings with Europe have meant the cottage industry has had to adjust clocks accordingly, winding back 1 hour........and 4 months, to account for the bends in time and logic, experienced by many people who use MPO in France. Luckily the costs incurred in this area are merely psychological and will not be passed on to the buyer.
As before the plastic bound music (also available as digital) comes housed in a beautifully minimal white paper sleeve, with unique and nuances per unit, to ensure true variance and a truly individual product. This attention carries through to the hand screened label, using the latest in dual pizza kitchen table printing technology with a tried and tested lounge floor drying system to ensure any moisture is gone before the vinyl is shipped, so that transport weight can be kept to a minimum and savings passed on to you.
Includes unlimited streaming of NP002 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Two track, single sided 12" vinyl. Just dicking around, and pleasing ourselves.
Vinyl should be with us for printing by around 15th February, until then digital is available or you can order vinyl in advance and get the digital immediately.
Pretty much anything Marc Mac puts his undoubted and long standing talent to, is going to be nothing but flawless. Aquarian Android perfectly embodies futuristic, interstellar electronica with copious amounts of bass laden beats. It's brilliant. DJ Osric
The whole album is amazing. Empires is, overall, my favorite ... (1) Because it's extra quirky (2) It's the longest track on the album ... and I like long tracks.
Whole album is great, though. 5/5 stars. 10/10.... all we need is more of Shima!
And, I think, a trio collaboration between John Shima, Derek Carr and, of course, Mr Rutter himself would be extra special :) simplybeourselves
A powerful and punchy album by Michael Diekmann and Matti Turunen, which Braindance, like Detroit, cleverly processes and redesigns; furthermore, electro fans in particular get their money's worth. Great long player! Inchman
