"I hope he'd gone to find you, to ask you one more time to forgive him... but maybe he didn't have anything left in his heart. I just hope he found some place where he could find a little peace: a place set in the cedars and oak trees, somewhere between nowhere and goodbye..." ~ Million Dollar Baby

Terra Mission


artist: VA
title: Terra Mission
label: Camino Blue
catalogue: CAMINOCD003
format: 2CD
date: 05/2010
country: Germany

info:
Drum & bass and science have always been natural partners. From the halcyon days of jungle producers have pushed the technical boundaries of their equipment, slicing up samples and squeezing every last piece of processing power from their studios. Meanwhile producers looked to the world of academia to find names for their tracks, their albums and even their own production monikers.

In the heady days of rave 2010 seemed like the future and the mid90s D&B era was the soundtrack to that future. Now it almost feels that partnering the words futuristic and drum & bass is a cliché of epic proportions.

However, Camino Blues latest compilation album Terra Mission combines the kind of scientific influence of old, with a slice of modern D&B that satisfies the natural partnership and doesnt feel forced or impossibly self important.

Taking inspiration from the Terra Mission an observatory that collects comprehensive global measurements of earth's atmosphere, cryosphere, lands, and oceans Camino Blue offers an insight into global musical freedom with a slick technical edge.

Featuring a host of names, some of which you will recognise and some which will be fresh to your ears, Terra Mission encompasses everything thats exciting about cool and clear drum & bass. Fans of Good Looking, Creative Source and Critical Music should lap this up.

CD1 brings you 11 unmixed tracks from the likes of Electrosoul System, MAV, Physics or ICR, while CD2 delves deep into the Camino Blue crates with a continuous DJ mix of all things past and present from P.B.K. featuring vocals from Wiosna.

format: digital download
date: 04/2010
country: Hungary

"For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
press release:
Each of us has our own personalised firewall, blocking threats, disturbances and undesirable offal. "Missing Pieces" is a compilation deserving to permeate one's guard. ICR chooses newcomers and established Misspent protagonists with equality, and whether it's Faalb's metre-switching "Well Wet", Mendelayev's nuanced and considered "Reflections", Fushara's tales from his concrete city, bustling kaleidoscopes of delight abound, quenching like a semi-skimmed cup over whole fat from the netlabel fraternity. Siphoned to perfection, it's a small display of Misspent's moreish qualities, which should be ranked high on your potentiometer upon consumption. ~ words by Muttley Subversion) (http://subvertcentral.blogspot.com/)

Tracklist:

01. Faalb - Well Wet
02. Salmz - Travel In The Far East
03. Mendelayev - Reflections
04. Cycom - Niagra
05. Fushara - Street Reality
06. Salmz - Sun Temple
07. Fushara - Lost Inside
08. Ghostwarrior - The Box
09. Snaper - Sick Tape
10. Anorganik - Streamed Marvel
11. Dissident - Fairytale
12. Format None - Lullaby

Missing Pieces album sampler

artist: Faalb / Salmz
title: Missing Pieces album sampler
label: Misspent Music
catalogue: MISSPENT015S
format: digital download
date: 03/2010
country: Hungary

tracklist:

A. Faalb - Okkan Omas (Salmz remix)
B. Salmz - Dying Breed (Faalb remix)

"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live." ~ Bette Midler

press release:
Misspent Music is here to celebrate with two full length albums. First off Missing Pieces is an emotionally driven, twisted collection of European drum & bass and IDM encompassing everything the label stands for. The sampler consists two of the labels earlier signings, latvian Salmz and hungarian Faalb joined forces remixing each others tracks - their sounds make complete the IDM/dubstep ingredients of the album.
