It´s been a long, long time but finally it´s here. Originally planned as an update and slightly revised edition of the long deleted 2cd / book of the same name released in 2003 to celebrate 5 years of Rune Grammofon, this has now turned into a completely new and quite gorgeous book. Completely redisigned and improved with new art from Kim Hiorthøy, more pages, slightly bigger and with 4 different types of paper, it features graphic works, photos, video stills, used and unused sleeve art, complete discography and more. The essays on the musical and visual profiles of the label from the first book are included, as is the original interview Kim did with label founder Rune Kristoffersen in 2003. New to this edition is a new interview as well as forewords by Rough Trade founder Geoff Travis and David Fricke, senior editor at Rolling Stone magazine. We also believe that the musical content is stronger with this edition, with 2 cds of top exclusive tracks from Supersilent, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Arve Henriksen, Nils Økland, Deathprod, Shining, Humcrush, Ultralyd, Food / Nils Petter Molvær, Maja Ratkje, Box, Svalastog, Huntsville, Alog / Spunk, Opsvik & Jennings, Phonophani and more. At the launch of the first book we said that ”although we like to look at ourselves as a progressive label, we have a certain nostalgic feeling regarding records and packaging. These days, when music is in danger of becoming even more fleeting and impersonal through downloading, we like to offer a collectable physical object worth owning.” Five years later this rings through even more and we are very proud to see that it´s possible for a small label to release something like this in our time. Which is why we have made a limited special collectors edition as well. This comes in the form of 4 vinyl LPs (on white vinyl) with all the music from the cds, packaged in a solid cardboard box with the book and the cds. Limited to 300 hand numbered copies.
