Christ. - 'Curio'

"christ. 'curio'. Volume 1. Imminent."

from his facebook page. I suspect it will be a collection of his rarer/older tracks.

This is exciting news!

Edit: Christ. Ok. It's a collection of old stuff, four tracks, demos, sketches, curiositis. A few tracks from delicass and Yugo. About three hours of music. Three volumes. All before Christmas. £5 each. Not all of it is amazing, but it's all 'of interest', to me definitely, and hopefully to you guys.

Great news indeed. I bet there are some nice gems in there.

he should take care of mastering these. The bad mastering ruined the great material on the last one for me

On Cathexsis? I didn't find that one too loud. Blue Shift Emissions on the other hand is a very loudly mastered album.

awesome news. christ needs more support. I don't get why he falls by the wayside

gonna be sick. been waiting to hear stuff from delicass and yugo for a very long time

Excellent news! I've been excited to hear some of his older work for a long time now. And I thought "Cathexis" was great--some of my all-time favorite Christ. on there.

Very good news, I think his early stuff is his most atmospheric, Moxley Moy and Kenderal are 2 of his best IMO, this is turning out to be a golden year for electronic music releases.

I keep on reading the title as 'Cunto'. Damn my filthy brain.

where does one purchase this?

Probably band camp. Not released yet but I guess some time in the next week

Bandcamp I believe. If I recall correctly he said that there were going to be three volumes, all out before the end of the year.

awesome! thanks

if its anything like his contribution to the touched2 comp i'm all in

and in casea anyone doesn't already know; this guy was BoC's drummer via Old Tunes era

He was affiliated with Hexagon Sun and listed in the credits of the original version of "Twoism" (to my knowledge, the only non-Sandison/Eoin ever listed on official releases in this way). But where did you get "BoC's drummer"? I've never heard anything about that.

Yeah, first I've heard of the drummer bit. Chris expounded upon his involvement a bit in an interview a year or two ago and it didn't mention anything about drumming.

The new Touched track is one of his best yet!

yeah, drummer's a bit specific and to label him as such tends to limit the scope of his potential influence/involvement. best to keep it a mystery. don't know where i first heard it, tbh...

First volume is up now..

Quality is, as expected, varied but on first listen Mallan is a rather lush track

Thanks for the heads up: I was eagerly looking forward to tomorrow because of this. Purchased.

Ritalin is awesome! It reminds me a bit of Boards of Canada's Skam tracks Korona and Chinook... I really wish Christ. would go ahead and release the original albums.

This release is reminiscent of Benbecula's Music Volumes One and Two, one of my favorite compilations. The music is straightforward, honest and beautiful.

Instant goosebumps, right from that opening beautiful track "dempsey". Fucking 1993, too--so ahead of the curve. Also glad to learn the name of "ritalin": I liked that one from the Peel Session, so it's good to have a straight-up copy of that track on its own (although it works really well in the context of that Peel session, though).

My goodness this is a treat!

Now if only M&M would follow suit!

man, christ's peel session really was incredible... heard there's a lossless recording of it out there somewhere but i've never found it :(

awesome!

Vol. 2 on Bandcamp now

Early scans suggest much goodness within
