Port Royal - 2000-2010: The Golden Age Of Consumerism

In 2010 Italian wide-screen electronica group port-royal celebrated 10 years as a band. For the occasion they have teamed up with the n5MD imprint yet again for the release of a career spanning double album. “2000-2010: The Golden Age Of Consumerism” collects all of the band's rarities, compilation appearances and remixes in one unabbreviated package containing close to 3 hours of music . Disc one includes the long out of print Kraken EP, tracks from the Magnitogorsk split with Absent Without Leave, the Honvéd EP, and the band's many compilation appearances. Disc 1 also boasts two unreleased tracks. One which features port-royal siren Linda Bjalla (aka Izumi Suzuki) on vocals. The other comes in the form of a brand new extended version of Günther Anders originally heard in brief on the Onda Drops Vol. 2 compilation. Disc two features all remixes that the band has conceived over their decade together. Felix Da Housecat, Ladytron, Millimetrik, D_rradio, Bitcrush and Jatun among others get the port-royal remix treatment. This disc showcases the band's deftness in the production of the various sub-genres of electronic music they are known to encompass. “2000-2010: The Golden Age Of Consumerism” is a wonderful retrospective that shows the band's musical growth, emotional dexterity and unique approach to electronic music.
