This new edition of the now classic “Matrix Downloaded 011” digital compilation is another perfect eclectic alternative music soundtrack that reflects the label’s music repertoire and impressive artist roster in the full-force of its diversity. The ultimate collection of scene famous and established artists featured next to rising new talents and stunning new discoveries from the label’s growing army of artists…

The music market keeps shifting at fast speed, adding more and more pressure on indie labels who struggle to keep marketing physical products (CD’s & vinyls) while the market sees their sales collapsing year after year while music streaming becomes a habit for many people forgetting about the impact all this has on the ever decreasing potential revenues artists and label get. This uncomfortable situation makes that too many indie labels just give up or almost stop playing their key-role of talent scouting, and no longer daring to invest in new talents who deserve to be heard by you!

With Alfa Matrix/Spleen+ we realise that we are today one of the very few record companies in our dark underground scene to keep struggling with the economics to manage keeping the right balance between releasing renowned artists and supporting younger bands who still need to catch the attention and reach your ears…

By supporting us and our featured 60 artists today, your contribution goes to the future of our endangered music scene and Alfa Matrix/Spleen+ make the guarantee to you that we will keep fighting on, and injecting more freshness, and new blood into our beloved alternative scene as long as we can.

So please, support us and just download this FREE compilation from our Bandcamp page, discover some artists on it who do bring you enough energy and/or emotional moments to maybe convince you buying one of their own releases available on Bandcamp or simply sharing their songs with some friends of yours who can join you in this discovery adventure… because if there is anything that all our bands deserve is just to be heard… and loved.

In the name of all the artists we proudly support and represent, we seize the opportunity to sincerely tell you how grateful we all are to have such a staunch fanbase like you in this challenging and difficult situation we are all going through… We are happy connecting hearts & brains and promoting the illumination of the arts as a reflection of the deepest feelings of the human being.

Once again released as a FREE (pay as you wish) digital compilation, “matrix+ downloaded 011” is downloadable in MP3/FLAC quality via the label’s Bandcamp page (where you can also still find the previous editions in case you were trapped in another universe over the last few years and did not catch these yet!!).

In November 2014, Alfa Matrix unveiled a tribute album to THE CURE titled “A Strange Play – An Alfa Matrix Tribute To The Cure.” Fast forward nine years, and we’re thrilled to present a fresh tribute with vol.2 in the series featuring electro, synth pop, EBM acts from the label but also more cold wave, post punk, gothic rock oriented bands from our Spleen+ division.

And while we are all patiently waiting for the ever-delayed release of THE CURE’s new studio album(s) (!?), let us all enjoy the 27 cover versions gathered on this compilation, reexploring the band’s amazing discography through takes on classic hit songs but also more obscure B-tracks. These cover versions bringing forward unexpected details from the original songs or giving them a total new sonic perspective.

Compiled by and for THE CURE fans, we are joined in this new tribute adventure by the growing roster of Spleen+ artists NOEMI AURORA, STAR INDUSTRY, IMJUDAS, THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS, THE BREATH OF LIFE or yet LOVELORN DOLLS, but also synth & elektro cult and upcoming Alfa Matrix acts in the likes of NEUROACTIVE, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, IMPLANT, DARKNESS ON DEMAND (ex-DANCE OR DIE), HELLE9 (ALIEN VAMPIRES side-project), METROLAND, AESTHETISCHE feat. ZOMBIE GIRL, AIBOFORCEN, TECHNOIR, KANT KINO, DIGITAL FACTOR, REGENERATOR, LIGHTS AM. (ESSENCE OF MIND solo-project), NEIKKA RPM, FIRST AID 4 SOULS, DIFFUZION, AVARICE IN AUDIO, ELEKTROKLÄNGE, CIRCUMPOLAR and COSMIC ARMCHAIR.

THE CURE was, is, and will continue to be a major influence and reference, conscious or not, for many underground artists and music lovers. We hope that together with us you will rediscover THE CURE in a way you didn’t expect, cruising through their vast catalogue in different soundscapes but always remaining faithful to the band’s darker sound.
