Sounds

"Stay With Me" is in the familiar ICE acoustik minimal style, with a downtempo eire soundscape and strange stereo effects. Information has taken the rhytms from "Emotional Consequences" from the "ICE Acoustik" album (BS025) and re-created it completely, into a strange but beautiful groovy journey.

Cat.no: BSS025-5

Artist: Aedena Cycle

Tracks:
Cargo Cult
The Glipp (Motion Control's play it again mix)

Vinyl colour: red

Release date: 15. nov

"Cargo Cult" is not from the album "Cargo Cult", but exclusive to the "Arctic Circle 2" compilation. It's a odd funky track, driven by a catchy guitar sample, but with the usual Aedena Cycle trickery. "The Glipp" from the "Cargo Cult" album (BS024) is played again by Motion Control, transformed into a catchy housey thing.

Cat.no: BSS025-6

Artist: Motion Control

Tracks:
Strawberries
Digits 2 (Mind over MIDI remix)

Vinyl colour: yellow

Release date: nov (tbc)

"Strawberries" is a laidback, but still funky house track, the first taster of the new Motion Control style. The B-side is Mind over MIDI's minimal apporach to the "Digits 2" track, original taken from the "Digits" album (BS017).
