apparently, this is not the first Spire release on Touch

http://www.discogs.com/release/325751

http://www.discogs.com/release/387957

all of those releases contain organ interpretations by Touch artist such as Fennesz, Philip Jeck, Biosphere ... etc

why haven't i heard about these releases before??!

its bloody good, a spiritual experience! and with this gatefold vinyl, the artwork is stunning.

(check the other Spire records too, they're really good...)

i think every single piece of organ (played, sampled or "maxmsp looped") in this majestic record sounds great ; dunno much what 2 say but, as you might expect, you'll find some awesome trax by philip jeck, bj nilsen, scielsi (a big name in the classical music world whose haunting track is quite scary) and, as usual, a brillant piece by fennesz (like popol vuh on laptop).

ONLY VINYL IS REAL :

i would like to reiterate my frustration with touch releasing vinyl-only stuff.

never heard that name before, i looked up some stuff

wow

i've heard his name for years but i thought he was british, you know like "Chelsea", only found out recently he was rather italian... got to check his music.
