Shit, this the roughly the same thing that happened to BT back around 2001. I can't donate as I am unemployed, but I hope he manages to get back on his feet and acquire new gear! I see that one of the fundraisers appears to have been successful, so that's great!

As long as it's not $17 per track again, I am VERY interested

YAS QUEEN! GET THAT DUST! 💅

This sort of thread is exactly why I didn't share this track on this forum before. My feelings on these (and related) subjects are encapsulated pretty well therein.

Bump because I just have to mention how well-near perfect a track Renaissance is. Dark, emotive, propulsive, with a touch of melancholy. One of my favourite tunes from this era of Armada.

I managed to find a version of this album with the vocal version of Jaded - hands-down, my favourite track from Lostly.

Quite a flex to have Jan fucking Johnston on your first vocal track!

The melodies are perfect, and the sound design: the super long reverberated crashes, the gentle fluttering textures, the distorted, post-rock-esque ambience. Eco just absolutely nailed this sound, and I'm glad to say that he's never truly abandoned it either, even with his more proggy recent...

My futile way of vicariously experiencing Ibiza's once-in-a-lifetime total eclipse sunset from today.

Total eclipse in Europe today! Was half a world away, but I hope everyone who saw it had a good time. I noticed a while back that the sunset in Ibiza was going to be in totality (something that ChatGPT tells me happens once every nine thousand years on average, for any given spot on Earth), and...

IMO the Breakfast Remix of this from the 10 Years of Anjunabeats comp is far and away the best version:

Listening for the first time - it's a much more progressive direction than anything I've heard from him so far, but all his characteristic melodic and emotional touches are still there. Welcome back Marcello, I've missed you :)

Speak for yourself - it's a new progressive direction for him, but it has the same melodic goodness I've always loved him for. Can't wait for the album!

Bought (despite it being overpriced) and listening now. It's very good, although I don't know if I'd rate it quite as highly as the remixes of Dragon's Tear or Waiting for You. Will probably grow on me as his other tracks have in the past. I have to say that despite this being worth my money...

Lovely! I like how the downbeat of the melody isn't where I expected it to be; that's a nice trick I've heard done a few times. I'm almost hearing shades of 2014-2020 Will Atkinson in this; I can imagine him doing a remix in that style.
