"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane." ~ Robert Frost
press release:

For Drum & Bass enthusiasts, it's always reassuring to know that from time to time, fresh talent appears to invigorate music with a unique and inspiring new sound. These days, this new sound not only comes from London, UK (the birthplace of Drum & Bass) but from all corners of the globe - and in our case: Saint Petersburg, Russia. Russian duo Bop & Dephecta have only released a few tunes to date, yet have already garnered praise and support from A-list DJs Flight, Nu:Tone, and London Elektricity (to name but a few). The milestone tenth release for ICR's Hungarian-based Misspent Music label features the pair's joint offering "Autumn Melancholy." Keeping with the label's tradition of releasing cinematic music for both body and mind, this very special track is an endless journey through long, open stretches of snow-covered land, with melancholic keys and strings strewn about. The story continues on the virtual flip of this digital release with ICR's remix of the duo's "The Space Between Us" (the original version was released on Syncopathic Recordings). The cool but not cold mood of the original remains alongside drums similar to Bop & Dephecta�s minimally crisp and solid patterns. Perfectly complementing the A-side of this landmark Misspent release, ICR manages to throw unique twists and imaginative turns into his remix offering. Influenced by a myriad of flavors from ambient, electronica, minimal to techno (these days, more often referred to as "microfunk"), both tracks in this release expertly balance on the edge of new subgenres. Misspent Music continues to push forward as a progressive label discovering new alternatives in Drum & Bass and beyond. Enjoy! ~ words by Mentalien/Stunna
