Ltd Edition inkl Bonus LP!
to rococo rot's the amateur view (1999) will be reissued as a highly limited expanded edition, featuring 12 bonus tracks on an additional disc, a new gatefold sleeve with previously unseen photos, and liner notes by Jon Dale. The Amateur View is widely hailed as one of the definitive records of late '90s analog electronica. Released in the U.S. via Mute Records, it was named one of UNCUT's Albums of the Year in 1999 and perfectly captured the introspective, experimental mood of the era. The album's influence was far-reaching-so much so that Saint Etienne enlisted To Rococo Rot for their 2000 album Sound of Water. At the time, To Rococo Rot were the band of the moment-jetting across the globe to play the most cutting-edge electronica festivals, including wild WARP events where none other than Aphex Twin spun support DJ sets, The trio was invited three times by John Peel to record radio sessions in the BBC studios between 1997 and 1999. Bands like Modeselektor still cite them as key influences and pioneers. Stephen McRobbie of The Pastels, Mark Fell (SND), and Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet) are all big fans-Kieran even remixed a track from their debut album so did Mira Calyx and Daniel Miller of Mute, a longtime supporter, and yes Björk is a fan too.
Format: 2x140g Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve w/ Liner Notes, 2 additional printed Insert Sheets - limited to 500 units worldwide, hand-numbered!
Unsere Einschätzung 1999:
"Die Tracks auf The Amateur View klingen kaum komponiert, sondern vielmehr, als wäre die Band in den Tiefen ihrer Maschinen über sie gestolpert. Es scheint, als wären To Rococo Rot mit ihren Mikrophonen und Kassettenrekordern einfach auf die digitalen Gegenstücke zu Vogelgezwitscher, blubbernden Bächen und raschelnden Blättern gestoßen und hätten dann die Y2K-Version einer Evironments-Platte an die Stereoanlage geliefert."
