Cool one this one. It features a bunch of tracks by folks who are well liked around these parts. Namely The Gentlemen Losers, Color Cassette, Helios, Dub Tractor, Yagya, Fieldhead, L'usine, September Collective, Ezekiel Honig, Stafraenn Hakon, Goldmind and loads more! Yep it's another comp with a stellar line up but we know you like 'em so much we always get 'em in for ya! The styles here vary a lot... From the exotica of The Gentlemen Losers to the electronic folk of Color Cassette, to the electronic mellowness of Helios to the neo classical twinkleisms of Ozy (beautiful track with some warm misery strings on there) to the Berlin minimal techno of The Sight Below.... And so on and so forth. It's a thoroughly entertaining listen from start to end and I'd recommend this to all fans of the drifty, the experimental and the electronic. Excellent!The first release of new-born label nothings66 compiles;
