In Sea Remixes

A Norman Records recommendation (12th February 2010)

This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Here's one of those things that sells itself. These types of things are great. You can just list up a bunch of artists, explain what the project is about and bobs yer uncle. You don't even need to say if it's any good or not. Genius. Fortunately this In Sea Remixes is a bit useful like. It's essentially the entire album of In Sea but remixed hence the name... On this floaty electronic experimental opus you get remixes by The Declining Winter, Yellow 6, Rameses III, Summer Cats, Keith Canisius, ThisQuietArmy, Landing and lots more. That's the kind of line up that gets you floaty twitchers dripping wet with excitement and like your good selves I now need a change of pant. It's more experimental than I expected as some of the mixes are weirder than I thought but underneath it all lies that gorgeous floaty drifty melodies which make it all worthwhile. Excellent from start to end and numbered of just 500 copies!!

Aarktica continues to perform live in the Northeast in support of the album.

In Sea press:

"So impressive it’s tempting to say that DeRosa probably won’t top In Sea and the way it perfectly encapsulates what’s great about his music. Even if he never does, this album is the kind of pinnacle to be proud of." - Popmatters

"After ten year of sonic exploration, In Sea is a return to where DeRosa began, the result being an album that represents a deeper exploration and knowledge of his familiar sounds. As such, it’s probably replaced No Solace In Sleep as my favorite Aarktica recording—no longer can I say 'I liked their earlier stuff better' in good conscience—and I hope it sets the stage for Aarktica’s next ten years." - Opus
