fumi Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 "Frozen Geometry" emerged from years of sketching new textures on guitar, which were layered and looped into immersive capsules of harmony and drift. The original intention was to use them as melodic foundations for future compositions but then he "became aware of them existing on their own." First full-length offering from legendary ambient act in over half a decade. An intriguing opus of hypnotic beauty and peripheral consciousness.

MichaelListon Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just came in to post this!Immediately pre-ordered the tape, I'm a sucker for all things limited edition. Can consign it to my precious Attacknine pile!I wonder what the total running length is? Cassette was usually 30-35 mins a side, no? 2 hourish?

fumi Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 was just listening to CVJ the other day, so this is his first release for a long long time? ha just scrolled up, anyway looking forward to this It's his first release in a while but he hasn't actually released anything new since 2002. Night On Tape and other stuff since then are all older recordings. Frozen Geometry sounds like more archive material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Awesome. What happened to AM Boy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Stranger Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 This is awesome news to wake up to. AM Boy put a single out last year on attacknine, around the same time as CVJ's last single. I hope there's a new AM Boy lp on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can consign it to my precious Attacknine pile! I wonder what the total running length is? Cassette was usually 30-35 mins a side, no? 2 hourish? Tapes can be anything from 1 minute to 120 minutes but C-45 (22.5 per side) is probably most typical, i.e. LP equivalent length. Anything from C30 to C60 is pretty common.

joshuatxuk Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Tape has already sold out. Glad to see it's in demand, wonder if he'll do a repress. I imagine they'll resell for a lot if he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 I just discovered a decade old collection of tracks buried away on an old FireWire drive I had up in the attic. The four tracks were for an album Erik was planning at the time but never came out. I seem to remember I recorded them off of MySpace. They're really lovely. It would be great if someone could validate/name them. The file is dated 'Autumn 2007'. They've never been officially released as far as I know.
