one is for the fans, the next one is to lose them

The album is less about actual trance music and more the hyper-optimistic positive hands-in-the-air vibes the genre pushed, deconstructed and put through the ringer for a modern-day, everything is fucked twist. The title is a bit of a piss-take really! I was hoping some casual trance fans would join the livestream i did for it on Bandcamp and get all confused/angry by what they were hearing. Sadly, everyone was really nice. Glad people are enjoying though, assuming that's the right word to describe it.

The lovely PITP label has allowed me to mirror the album on my own Bandcamp page, so I've made the digital album free/pay what you want until Christmas Day 2023. https://3six.bandcamp.com/album/the-box

Obviously I can't say how long it takes to handle the specific licensing/publishing side of things from his end.... And giving him the benefit of the doubt, that's most likely what is tying things up, since these are tracks already released on various other labels. Either that or feature creep kicked in and he keeps adding new music to it. But as someone who has released about 30 CD's in the last 15 years or so, it takes about 2 weeks maximum to get them pressed, from supply of DDP/artwork to receiving them on your doorstep. It's by far the easiest format to work with *assuming* you have everything finished and ready to go. Moral of the story is don't sell stuff online unless it's all finished, legally safe and preferably, already been manufactured. He's done serious damage to his reputation by promising things he clearly can't deliver on. 2 years since announcement and still nothing to show for it is downright amateur.

Thanx guys. Test press was approved yesterday and the main vinyl run will be with me shortly. There's a handful of pre-order copies left at https://3six.bandcamp.com/album/cold-ecstasy then any remaining will be sent to Juno on release day.

Digital out now. 2xLP vinyl due around September. https://3six.bandcamp.com/album/cold-ecstasy

Thanks guys and glad you could make it to the livestream last night!

"Here are ten alternative versions picked from the Substrata recordings sessions that took place between 1995 and 1996." Looks like it's from the era it was actually recorded.

Substrata was the third studio album by the Norwegian electronic artist Biosphere, released 25 years ago by All Saints Records in London. In 2016, Pitchfork ranked it at number 38 on its list of the 50 Best Ambient Albums of All Time. Here are ten alternative versions picked from the Substrata recordings sessions that took place between 1995 and 1996. https://biosphere.bandcamp.com/album/substrata-alternative-versions
