purlieu Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 From the Biophon Facebook page: Upcoming releases autumn 2017: BIO7: Biosphere - Compilation 1991-2004 2xCD BIO29: Biosphere - Shenzhou 2xCD / 3xLP [with the bonus album The Samphire Tower] BIO25: Biosphere - The Hilvarenbeek Recordings [Expanded version] CD / LP. Been hoping that the compilation tracks album made it to CD so that's made me happy. Shenzhou is continuing his reissue campaign with a bonus album, so that'll be nice to add to the collection. The Hilvarenbeek Recordings was a series of pieces based on field recordings, an EP of which was unofficially released a few years ago. No release date yet.

No release date yet. 2x CD meaning compilations might be expanded?! I'm psyched about the Shenzou reissue as well. I've copped most of the recent biosphere reissues, Cirque pressing in particular was phenomenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think Compilation is longer than a standard CD so it might just be the web version. I only ever had Substrata before this series started, although I had them all digitally. Geir is doing such a brilliant job with this series though, every set has been excellent and really great value for money. I'm excited about the prospect of an expanded Dropsonde in the next year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danshoebridge Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Anyone know if this will be available through norman / bleep in the UK? That £15 postage is pretty steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Compilation 1991-2004 now available. Limited to 500 2CD sets. The Hilvarenbeek Recordings is now due early 2018. Given that he's doing these two, I wonder if we'll get any of the other minor releases, a la the Insomnia soundtrack or that Sound Installations compilation (possibly with Das Subharchord and others added on). I'd love to get a nice 2CD set of The Fires of Ork, too. Given that they've been digitally reissued, and the Namlook/Schulze Dark Side of the Moog albums got CD reissues, I can't imagine it's out of the realms of possibility.

BUNKUM Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yeah, I managed to get a copy. Been on a real Biosphere binge lately. I noticed Amazon had the comp cd up for pre-order, so perhaps not all were available from Bandcamp https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077687N7Z/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_h5jdAbFXSZ9H5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesqdot Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Compilation CD sold out in three days! Looks like it will be available from other retailers towards the end of the month though. Luckily. 'Cos I wasn't quick enough. 17 EUR shipping on the Shenzhou vinyl to the UK... ouch! Will wait until Bleep/Boomkat/Norman have it available. It'd be nice to have the Bandcamp lossless DL but it isn't worth that much extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kichiguy Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Oh man, I can't wait for this Shenzou reissue on wax. It's gonna sound so perfect on that form. I've had Ancient Campfire as my ringtone for almost 6 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 A lot of stuff has been sent out already, but he apologised on Facebook today for the fact that some people's haven't been - his local post office ran out of stamps because so many people had been ordering his stuff.

purlieu Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Was away from home this week - just got back to find my FSOL 'Ramblings of a Madman vol 1' zine, 2018 calendars, and the two Biosphere CDs. Can't beat that, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I think Gravity Assist is probably his best track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
