With the 8th edition of their now classic FREE “Matrix Downloaded” label digital compilation, Belgium’s ALFA MATRIX label prepared once more the perfect eclectic alternative music soundtrack for your end of year Season Holiday.
Again a prefect pre-X-Mas present for all of us with a selection of 55 songs nicely representing the label’s most recent singles and albums while giving a preview of some promising forthcoming 2019 productions including announced new releases by HELALYN FLOWERS, SYNAPSYCHE, AVARICE IN AUDIO, H.O.W., LLUMEN, MENTAL EXILE, SD-KRTR, DIFFUZION, REACTOR7X, AESTHETISCHE, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, DIE ROBO SAPIENS, JUNKSISTA, IMJUDAS, ALIEN VAMPIRES, MONDTRÄUME, AIBOFORCEN, DUNKELWERK, KOMOR KOMMANDO, NEIKKA RPM, ACYLUM, etc.
A 200 minute-plus compilation that reflects the label’s music repertoire and impressive artist roster in the full-force of its diversity also reminding us that ALFA MATRIX is one of the very few indie electro labels who still dare to scout new talents and to inject new blood into the scene while others would definitely choose to sleep on their laurels while focusing on their sure values of established bands.
The ultimate collection of scene famous and established artists featured next to rising new talents and stunning new discoveries from the label’s impressive army of artists… Since 2001, ALFA MATRIX has been offering to you electronic music with attitude… EBM, synth pop, industrial, electronic, indie rock, nu electro, dark elektro, avant-garde, goth metal, wave, techno house: you get it all!
This FREE (or pay as you wish) compilation is once again downloadable in MP3/FLAC quality via the label’s successful Bandcamp page (where you can also still find the 7 previous editions in case you were trapped in another universe for the last few years and did not catch these yet!!).
In 2018, Belgium’s very own vintage synth duo METROLAND released their 4th conceptual album “Men In A Frame”. On this album they further expanded their artistic horizon by (quite literally) throwing photography into the concept.
Besides the highly praised “Men In A Frame” main album, METROLAND also surprised everyone by releasing 2 “non-album” singles with “Man In A Frame” and “Memorabilia” which were accompanied by more obscure electronic B-sides and remixes. But that’s definitely with the successful first exposition “Pictures To Listen To” held in Belgium that the band pushed their concept to its maximum limit allowing the audience to fully experience their “Men In A Frame” concept, allowing the exhibition visitors actually listening to the pictures and receiving afterwards the exclusive “Pictures To Listen To” compilation.
Animated by that unique and dynamic aim to constantly immerse their listeners in the symbiotic combination of electronics and deliberate, yet minimal design. METROLAND went the extra mile for the ultimate closure of their conceptual chapter dedicated to photography: Passenger A and Passenger S presented a selection of kindred spirit musicians and bands with the challenge of, this time, putting the band in the frame, ending up in this unique remix album: “Framed”. A unique extension to the austere art that METROLAND holds so dear, each track on this luscious 12-track gatefold yellow colour vinyl album is the remixers’ personal contribution to really put the finishing touch on all of these METROLAND memorabilia. And the list of featured contributors simply speaks for itself!
This very limited double-LP release (300 units worldwide) is accompanied by the “Framed Anew“ carton sleeve CD offering a slightly different track list. (3 exclusive remixes on the yellow vinyl by DER DRITTE RAUM, DIE ROBO SAPIENS and FROHM; and 3 non-vinyl remixes on the CD). This beautiful collector item will be released at the occasion of the second “Pictures To Listen Too“ exposition at the Cultuur Centrum of Mechelen – Belgium from its vernissage on 26th January 2019 until 24th March 2019.
