STRATA19 – Strange Mountain II – ‘Rides Eternal’
When Strange Mountain approached a very young Geology with his Inhibitions album back in 2014 I was honored to have a hand in releasing something so gorgeous and nuanced. This is the same artist… but a huge leap sideways. There are hints of old SM all over here, but this is an artist taking a pause, looking in a new direction and nailing it. Edition of 50 pro-dubbed black cassettes in hand assembled boxes with a slipcase. Includes a booklet of liner notes by Taufiq Rahman of the Jakarta Post and Jakartabeat.net, along with a digital download card. $7.50 + sh
STRATA20 – S. Oliwa – ‘Lost Memories’
I was a big fan of the work S Oliwa did a few years ago on Inner Islands and couldn’t be more excited to share Lost Memories with you. Oliwa is a master of the slow, super organic, build and making electronic music that feels alive. This is ambient techno with absolute heart and soul. Edition of 50 pro-dubbed transparent cassettes in hand assembled boxes with a slipcase. Includes a booklet of photos taken by the artist along with a digital download card. $7.50 + sh
