Fennesz, Biosphere, Jóhannsson on Touch Comp
Over the course of 2006-07, UK electronic music label Touch Records will celebrate its 25th anniversary. And what's a celebration without souvenirs? Today, Touch releases Touch 25, a special anniversary compilation.
Jóhann Jóhannsson, Biosphere, Fennesz, Ryoji Ikeda, Philip Jeck, Pan Sonic, and more contribute exclusive tracks to the compilation. "Almost everyone we are currently working with in music has made a special recording for the CD, so it is a 'Declaration of intent' 25 years down the line," Touch founder Jon Wozencroft said in a press release. "We had no idea how it would pan out. What seems to have taken place, is a sequence of 25 tracks (in itself an accident of numbers) that each in their own space are quite obscure and 'of a refined sense of taste,' but together, build a very emotional journey through the emotional conditions brought on by the lack of emotion in everyday life, and its replacement by extremities."
