The post V/A – Resurgence 7CD Compilation Box (Vinyl size deluxe carton box) appeared first on Alfa Matrix Store.

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.

This Christmas 2021, many amongst our alternative music scene community will gather in theaters across the globe to enjoy the unexpected 4th installment of the cult science fiction action film “The Matrix Resurrections”… In the same moment, Belgian underground dark electronic music label Alfa Matrix is closing its 20th year of existence with this new conceptual anniversary release “matriXX”. A collection of some 60 songs downloadable in MP3/FLAC quality via the label’s successful Bandcamp page (FREE or pay as you wish).

Back in 2001, three Belgian boys had dreams… and well, they decided that they would not just be, “dreams”! They decided to share these dreams with artists and with YOU. And they took that right pill that made them larger year after year, release after release. A new concept was born.

After all these 20 years, we’re bringing you back where it all started. Back to the Matrix!

The three label owners (Benoît, Bernard & Séba) took the challenge to summarize these 20 years of sonic extravaganza by each selecting only 20 songs which meant something to them in their label’s history. “We quickly realized how much we had underestimated this challenge of shrinking a repertoire of over 12.000 songs to 60 tracks in total especially considering that we have actually worked with more than 60 different bands and projects through the years… to say the least, this was an incredible and yet fulfilling task to achieve!”, says label & artists manager Séba Dolimont. [full texts & insights written by the three label protagonists themselves can be found in the attached extended booklet of this release via the label’s Bandcamp page]

The time has come for us to plunge you again in this repeating loop, that will bring you sonic memories and déjà vu while still remaining today so exciting and entertaining, also reminding you how easily it is to forget how much noise the Alfa Matrix has been pumping into your head over the last XX years.

This is the moment for us to show you once more what is real and all we have achieved thanks to our creative artists and to your precious support. The only thing that matters for us is still here, our dark scene and its uncountable talents and we know why we’re still fighting, and we’ll never give up.

We’re ready to feed your head. “Are you ready to fly”?
And never forget: this matrIXX seleXXion is only one version of the reality. Create your own on Spotify and share it with us!

Thanks for having believed in us since day one. Share your belief with friends. We’re up for the next challenge!

Since 2001, Alfa Matrix has been offering you electronic music with attitude… EBM, synth pop, industrial, electronic, indie rock, nu electro, dark elektro, avant-garde, goth metal, wave, post punk, techno house: you get it all!

Compiled in Winter 2021 by Seba Dolimont, Benoit Blanchart and Bernard Van Isacker.

Alfa Matrix will invest all donations in new bands. Feel free to support us!

Here’s what Seba Dolimont from Alfa Matrix has to say about it: “The music market has shifted a lot over the years and in many ways losing its solid footing. CDs sales are collapsing entirely and the shift from downloads to streaming has not yet shown a revenue that is replacing what has been lost. (…) This evolution has created an environment where many labels have almost stopped playing their key-role of talent scouting, no longer daring to invest in new talents who deserve to be heard by you! Alfa Matrix is one of the very few record companies in this scene who try to keep the right balance between releasing renowned artists and supporting younger bands who still need to catch the attention and reach your ears.”

The compilation holds the work by 64 label bands who joined hands to deliver you 64 songs representing the label’s most recent singles and albums while giving a preview of some promising forthcoming 2021 productions .

The challenge for artists and labels in such a unique indie music scene has become more than tough and no one is immune to this difficult situation. Too many labels have already ceased activities while artists simply gave up, and we fear that this trend will continue. This evolution has created an environment where many labels have almost stopped playing their key-role of talent scouting, no longer daring to invest in new talents who deserve to be heard by you! Alfa Matrix is one of the very few record companies on 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 artists today, your contribution goes to the future of our endangered music scene and Alfa Matrix makes the guarantee to you that it will keep fighting on, and injecting more freshness, and new blood into the alternative electro scene.

This new FREE (or pay as you wish) 9th edition of the now classic “Matrix Downloaded” 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.

Some 61 label bands join hands to share love and offer you these precious sonic moments, a sincere outreach to tell you how grateful we all are to have such a staunch fanbase like you in our precious underground scene.

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… Since 2001, ALFA MATRIX has been offering 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!

Again this new selection of some 61 songs nicely represents the label’s most recent singles and albums while giving a preview of some promising forthcoming 2020 productions including announced new releases by POUPPEE FABRIKK, NEUROACTIVE, ALIEN VAMPIRES, HELALYN FLOWERS, DIE ROBO SAPIENS, IMJUDAS, 808 DOT POP, ACYLUM, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, PSY’AVIAH, AVARICE IN AUDIO, SIVA SIX, NEIKKA RPM, AESTHETISCHE, KANT KINO, KOMOR KOMMANDO, AD:KEY, H.O.W., CIRCUMPOLAR, SYNAPSYCHE, LLUMEN, ENTRZELLE, LIGHTS A.M, REACTOR7X, FIRST AID 4 SOULS, etc.
