Activa - Origins [Expanded Edition]

[sszecret]

Would 110% support a vinyl release, I have Tri-Series and it's the best trance vinyl in the past 10 years imo.

Wanted to grab Tri-Series at the time, but couldn't due to various reasons. The second-hand prices are just stupid though (200+ euros with shipping), so I'll have to wait for a repress at some point (and yes I know there's Part 2 still available on TRR, but it doesn't ship here).

Not planning to miss an Origins vinyl release though.

The shipping costs of vinyl out of the UK since Brexit are simply ridiculous ... Thankfully Menno's au revoir and some Activa vinyls were shipped from NL thanks to Black Hole - maybe Origins will be the same since in the end they published the album

In the case of Tri-Series it isn't so much the shipping cost (~15 euros), but rather the hyper inflated prices of the vinyl records themselves.
On Discogs for example, Part 1 and 2 start from £60 each, and rather ridiculously, Part 3 starts from £151. What makes it more ridiculous is that the full pack (of three + cover) is £125, but that's unfortunately not shippable here, so next one in line I'd be able to get would start at £170.

Ah true, but in a way the uptick in value comes from the fact it was a fantastic release - just a shame not that many people had the opportunity to purchase it initially. I would not be surprised if Origins will go for higher once the original run is sold out, the album is siting at a ridiculous 4.87/5 on Discogs.

EDIT: Having said that, Tri-Series is at 4.89!!!

Vinyl News! Hi all. Hope everything is going well. It’s really great to give you an update on the Origins vinyl release which many have been asking about since the albums release. I have teamed up once more with Diggers Factory to bring 2 double vinyl releases containing all extended versions of the tracks, the first of which is available to pre-order now. You may remember the To The Point project where the release was essentially crowdfunded - this will be the same - we need to hit around 160 copies to cover costs and therefore go into manufacture. If part one goes well, part two will go ahead. Diggers have made some great infrastructure updates and now have shipping available from the UK and US (they’re based in France so Europe is covered). manufacture times are relatively quick again so once we know we are going ahead (fingers crossed) I’ll let you know turnaround times. As always huge thanks for your support.

Am i right that you can only buy the whole album on Bandcamp and not seperate tracks?

That's true for both the original version and the extended version of Origins, yes.

FYI for folks who've ordered the vinyl release, it should start arriving at your doorstep. Mine shipped on the 20th and got here today, so pretty quick turnaround.

Hope that this one will be released, just like Sonic Element’s or Protoculture remixes Maybe not as moving like „GeoMetric” or „Øna” but still in Jonathan”s brilliant quality

First track from Borderline Radio 001, Activa’s mix:

 

[nightslapper]

sounds like eased up psy trance with all those glitchy sounds, not that it's a bad thing tho

 

[Daysleeper]

its great. groovy, driving slow subtle builder...

using different basses and bass-note grooves is so underused in modern trance

Both the versions you mentioned are available as part of the Origins ‘expanded edition’ on Bandcamp (Need to buy full album tho) Doubt it will see an individual release tho
