Landform Code [2LP]

Virgo - Landform Code [2LP]

WRWTFWW Records presents the first-ever vinyl release of Japanese electronic music producer Virgo's debut album, Landform Code, a forgotten underground classic from 1998, now finally available as a limited edition 45rpm cut double LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve. Originally only released on CD by Tokyo-based cult label FORM@ RECORDS, Landform Code is an absolute gem of smooth, melodic Detroit techno infused with brilliant hints of acid, ambient, and IDM. It's a dreamy, organic, and timeless record that captures the essence of late '90s electronic innovation with a deeply soulful touch. The 12-track album, radiating with lush melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and textural detail, is an essential (hidden) treasure of electronic music history, transporting the listeners back to the pioneering days of Carl Craig, B12, The Black Dog, Ian O'Brien, or Warp's Artificial Intelligence series, beautifully honoring its influences, while solidly standing on its own as a distinct and emotionally resonant piece from Japan's underground scene. Landform Code is released simultaneously with Virgo's 1999 follow-up album Remnants (WRWTFWW 117LP), both excavated from the vaults of FORM@ RECORDS which has officially supervised the reissue efforts. This marks the first phase of a collaboration between the Swiss and Japanese labels. A1. Arcadia_x000D_ A2. System For Zodiac_x000D_ A3. Remains_x000D_ B1. Stroma_x000D_ B2. Monochrome Sky_x000D_ B3.
