FROM THE VAULTS
'FROM THE VAULTS' is a major series of releases from Simon's back catalogue, the vast majority of which has never before been available in the digital domain. Every track has been rescued from decaying DAT tapes and lovingly restored and remastered to create a series of artist-themed albums that sound as vital and vibrant today as the day they were created.
In total, there will be four albums released between 3rd January and 21st February 2020 featuring music from pHrack R, Synchromesh and Futurecore, each providing a fascinating insight into Simon's creative process. Check out all the releases as they come here.
“Electronic Music was slowly coming of age. There was a real fearlessness to music-making back in the ‘90s, but the creative process was a serious challenge compared to what it is today. The biggest stumbling block was a lack of hardware, as nothing was created ‘in the box’ back in those days. I remember my studio being full of machines, cables, keyboards, all routed to a large mixing desk. Making music was a true voyage of discovery and I think these recordings stand the test of time well as well as being a great document of my development as an artist.”
