New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: 25

The Spirit of Gravity was founded in 2001 by Nick Rilke and Tony Rimbaud, to provide a platform for live experimental electronic music.

Before long it gathered a nucleus of local musicians and was attracting artists from around the world.

As part of the 25th birthday celebrations this year for the Spirit of Gravity, we wanted to release a compilation CD, to expand on the vinyl LP format we used for our 21st, and include artists old and new who we have loved over the years. There are a few missing for various reasons, but we’re very happy with the outcome.

Stream the two sample tracks from Rashamon and Rackets and place your pre-orders for the CD or digital release here: spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/25 

Next radio broadcast on ResonanceExtra FM: Sunday 27th September – 8.00 to 10.00pm
