Various - Recovery

from touch:

  Quote

"Recovery" is a collector’s limited edition vinyl box set of 20 cover versions by 20 seminal electronic musicians and composers, issued by Fractured Recordings. Published as a numbered limited edition of 500, the box contains 10 double A-side 7"s, alongside unique cover designs by artist Graham Dolphin.

 

It is the result of an invitation, extended to a group of leading electronic artists, to create a cover version of a song from the past that holds a particular significance to them. The outcome is an extraordinary and unexpected series of tributes and appropriations of classic hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s, recorded by artists renowned for their inimitable style and seminal contribution to contemporary musical innovation.

 

Several Touch-related artists are included in this project: Fennesz, BJNilsen, Mika Vainio, Snd, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ryoji Ikeda, People Like Us, and more…

 

"Recovery" is available to buy online at www.fracturedrecordings.com

yeah and Ikeda uses sine waves

ikeda's ok, but noto was the laziest

CoH is just the hot shit these days

Yeah, I was psyched on this when Mark Fell linked it on his site a while ago. Expected it to be expensive, but not totally out of the realm of purchasing, but saw the $142 USD price tag and settled for mp3 samples as a gist.
