This man is an unsung hero of electronic music. He seems to have been working away in the background doing lots of Library music and a tonne of releases on his own DiN label. He's a name that's probably more familiar to readers of Sound On Sound and Future Music Magazine. He's done everything from new age type stuff in the 80's through to dark drone work. A master hand with the old modular and analogue synths, he truly makes these machines sing. This collection serves as a retrospective of an impressive 30 year career. He's mixed all the audio into a continuous mix on both discs. A fine collection for long-term followers and a fantastic introduction to a true synthesizer wizard. I mean how bloody good is 'The Climb' from back in 1983 and still sounds futuristic. A few collaboration tracks are included such as 'Coriolis' with Chris Carter. Check it out!!!
A 30 year retrospective of the music of Ian Boddy. From the release of his first ever full album on the UK cassette label Mirage in 1980, he has gone on to issue 23 solo & 24 collaborative albums, performed over 100 concerts in the UK, The Netherlands, Germany & USA, composed 11 library music albums for DeWolfe Music and programmed several sample CD's & virtual instruments. In 1999 he founded the DiN electronica label which has since become synonymous with adventurous and eclectic music. There have been 35 titles to date, including albums by Chris Carter, Robert Rich, Tetsu Inoue, Mark Shreeve, Markus Reuter & Erik Wøllo. Boddy's influence also extends into sound design where numerous musicians and film makers have used his sounds in their own music and soundtracks. Pearl is the 36th release on DiN and offers a retrospective of Boddy's 30 year journey.
Released in a limited edition of 1,000 (with the first 300 being signed & numbered by the artist) , beautifully designed digipak format the music is split
across two discs. "Outer DiN" attempts to bring together all his work outside of DiN. It includes his solo work stretching all the way back to the early
cassette releases, three DeWolfe library music tracks and an excerpt of his sound design work. "Inner DiN" showcases both his solo and collaborative work on the DiN ambient label. Boddy has mixed both CDs into a continuous mix of music that provides a fascinating and unique way to experience the music of a truly original musician.
