Re Form Ver 1 0

Description

WRWTFWW Records is delighted to announce its 5th archival reissue from the catalog of the legendary Tokyo label FORM@ RECORDS, with the very first vinyl edition of Re-Form Ver-1.0. This remarkable 1999 remix compilation, still little-known to the general public, is now available as a limited edition 45 RPM double LP, presented in a thick sleeve.Originally available only on CD in extremely limited quantities, Re-Form Ver-1.0 makes a grand return as a fascinating testament to the creative peak of FORM@ RECORDS in the late 1990s. Reinterpreting key tracks from the label's catalog, this remix collection offers a rare glimpse into Tokyo's underground electronic scene, where techno, house, ambient, and IDM flourish freely through FORM@'s exploratory and profound vision.Among the standout tracks are two remixes of the cult track "Poisson d'avril" by Missing Project (including its famous ambient and ethereal Galaxy Dub, featured on Virtual Dreams II by Music From Memory), as well as the captivating remix of "Cure & Soul" by Penance from Fossil (aka the legendary Virgo). Throughout the compilation, energy blends harmoniously with introspective listening, embodying the warm, human approach to electronic music for which FORM@ RECORDS is renowned.Another essential time capsule from a crucial era of underground music, Re-Form Ver-1.0 echoes the spirit of Warp's Artificial Intelligence era, as well as the avant-garde energy of Ken Ishii, Carl Craig, The Black Dog, and Ian O'Brien, while retaining its local roots and unique identity. Re-Form Ver-1.0 follows the vinyl editions of Landform Code (1998) and Remnants (1999) by Virgo, as well as the compilations FORM@ Art Form I (1997) and Art Form 2 (1998), thus enriching WRWTFWW's archival series dedicated to uncovering hidden gems of late 90s Japanese electronic music.
