2020 REISSUE in Original Art

Tracklist
A-Modulation A
B-Modulation B


Shortinfo:

The Two Tunes You Find In This Debut Ep Have Been Fully Written And Produced By Dino Sabatini In His Studio In Berlin. Modulation A May Be A Perfect Introduction For The Journey. It Is A Dense, Tense Ride Into A Liquid Atmosphere Of A Techno Playground. Far To Be Aggressive, Though. Go Through It, And Youll Get The Essence Of Outis Label. Modulation B Can Be Taken As A Tool, Yet Totally Undependent By Its Brother. As A Standalone Track, It Can Bring The Dancefloor Into An Evanescent State Of Ghostly Fog, Self-spreading All Around You. But When Played Over Another Track, Its Capable Of Adding The Spiral Touch Of A Transparent Radiation, Like Being In A Boundless Land You've Never Been Before

This is the remix edition of Dino Sabatini's recent second album "Omonimo" (April 2016, Outis Music).Like the recent album, this EP "Concentrica" features renowned Italian veteran pianist/accordionist Antonello Salis on the tracks "If" and "It All Ends Here", albeit here in different versions. Out of these two tracks the former is on "Concentrica" reworked by Dino Sabatini and the latter in a collaborative live variation between Salis and Dino Sabatini.
Simultaneously with the announcement of "Concentrica" was it announced that Dino and Antonello are launching their new live project: Dino Sabatini & Antonello Salis present 'Electronic Opera Concentrica'.
Howie B is veteran producer mainly known as a purveyor of early trip hop, having produced cuts from Tricky's debut album, Björk's "Post" and "Homogenic" as well as other major like U2.

Tracklist EP:
A1 - Sometimes Back (Touched by Howie B), A2 - If (feat. Antonello Salis)
B1 - The Unexpected (ASC's Grey Area Remix) , B2 - And it All Ends Here (Salis & Sabatini Variation)

After inaugurating the 'Opera' sub-series of his Outis Music label with the sublime 'Omonimo' double LP this April, Dino Sabatini has invited some choice allies to help define the vocabulary and expand the vision of the new imprint. The aforementioned album, which wove together Sabatini's atmospheric conjuring skill with the piano flourishes of Antonello Salis, already exhibits the label's commitment to dismantling the 'either-or' logic of contemporary genres by successfully merging a variety of supposedly irreconcilable styles, talents, and worldviews (e.g. both mythological and the technological perspectives). The follow-up EP, 'Concentrica', draws on the material from 'Omonimo' and delivers it into the hands of additional remixers in order to continue the Outis Opera voyage.

The leadoff contribution, a variation on 'Sometimes Back' from Howie B, unwinds slowly and undulates gracefully, luring the listener into a dense thicket of sound foliage before a surprise entrance from sonic beasts made of thick distortion and delay effects. The deceptively light percussion touches and keystrokes give this cyborg dub a deceptive tranquillity that contrasts delightfully with the growls and feverish swells of the 'lead' synths. This fades into a re-imagining of 'If' by Sabatini, augmenting the original's ambience with all kinds of new elements from rolling toms to translucent curtains of harmonic string-like sounds. More of a continuation of the original than a reprise, it strikes that perfect balance between passivity and activity - the listener can 'relax' but still have the freedom to actively, deeply explore inner space.
Next up is a focused mix of 'The Unexpected' from ASC, known for his many contributions to the Silent Season label and for a kinship with uncategorizable artists like Kangding Ray and L.B. Dub Corp. Though subtitled as his 'Grey Area' mix, this track is rich with tone colour and a feeling of curiosity that, thanks to the producer's flair for layering sound washes and filtering percussive elements, never elevates into full-on anxiety and leaves one wanting to know what lies behind the door from which these hazy sounds are escaping.

The final track, as it was on 'Omonimo', is once again 'And it All Ends Here', although this time Salis and Sabatini reach the ending in a drastically different way than before: a dramatic fade-in of music box and environmental ambience gives way to even more dramatic string arrangements, quick piano stabs and time-reversed ephemera. As such, the record ends in mystery, with a question mark or a 'to be continued...' rather than a resolute conclusion, but this is part of the record's appeal: imagining what lies beyond the grooves is just as rewarding as the listening experience.

Short info:
As both a producer and the helmsman of the Outis Music label, Dino Sabatini has carved out a distinctive musical style that shows a great reverence for both ancient archetypes and future possibilities for change (see, for example, his "Mnemosyne" co-release with Edit Select, in which each track is dedicated to a separate Greek goddess). With one foot planted in a mysterious past and the other foot planted in a world yet to arrive, Sabatini's works are carefully realized emotional journeys that intertwine shimmers of optimism with undercurrents of poignancy or nostalgia. His latest full-length offering, "Omonimo" (that's "homonym" for non-speakers of Italian), brings all of this to fruition on a record that demands (and rewards) deep listening.

After a pulsating "Foreword" massages the mind and prepares it for the story that Sabatini is about to tell, "Choosing the Right Way" blankets the listener in a rainy day ambience punctuated with tantalizingly distant vocal refrains and nimble piano. At once solemn and erotic, it sets the pace perfectly for a set of tracks that have a cohesive feel, yet all use their own sonic vocabulary and color palette to tell unique variations on the story. "It's My Forest," for example, sticks to the reliable trip-hop / mid-tempo framework while introducing quick snatches of tabla and signaling, hovering synth arpeggios. "Follow Me" retains the lush synth pads and cycling percussive loops of that track, and then things take a turn for the slightly darker with "The Unexpected," a sudden uptick in percussive punch and apprehensive intensity. The album's main, recurring motif of cascading note patterns continues on "Just When I Think About You" and "Sometimes Back," with the former benefitting from a fat, insistent bass synth throb both of these pieces benefitting from the return of tastefully minimal piano accents.

And speaking of piano, the album's feeling of grandeur truly hits its stride with the assistance of jazz pianist Antonello Salis: on the tracks "If" and the swansong "And it All Ends Here", Salis' input allows Sabatini's blossoming arrangements to truly breathe while accommodating his partner's contemplative presence, culminating in free-floating, luminous wisps of romanticism. Nestling neatly between a number of contemporary genres, and wisely avoiding their fatal clichés, tracks like the Sabatini / Salis collaborations will point listeners forward to a new kind of compositional freedom, and a style that can melt away feelings of pervasive stress without ever silencing the mind's innate curiosity.

SHORT INFO:
Celebrated new wave compilation from Japan reissued for the first time on Glossy Mistakes.
A much-cherished gem from the 1980s underground Japanese music scene returns as Soft Selection 84 is reissued by Glossy Mistakes for its 40th anniversary. Originally released on DIY label Soft, the compilation sees 13 tracks from nine acts spanning minimal, ambient, zolo and more for a beguiling listen.
The result is a charming time capsule of eclectic creativity in which nothing sounds dated. Take La Sellrose Can Can, whose two party jams predate Kero Kero Bonito's hyperpop by decades. In addition, an impeccable remastering from the original master tapes adds to the "could have been recorded yesterday" feel of the collection.
Soft Selection 84 also includes the eccentric Picky Picnic. One of the few featured artists with recordings beyond the anthology, the trio is an essential act for those curious about Japanese art pop of the era. There is also new wave introspection from Name, whose "Do We All Need Love" plays out as a sensual nod to John Lennon. In a similar vein is Clä-Sick, the recording name of Goro Some, the compilation's original producer and founder of Soft.
The record's rerelease comes with Some's blessing, along with his original artwork and photography. Ultimately, the listener is left tantalised by his selection and its bold excursions into no wave, synth pop, radioplay and bizzaro house. Most of the artists on this release would fade into obscurity, but the transient nature of the potential showcased has helped cement the compilation's reputation over the years.
Soft Selection will be released on vinyl LP by Glossy Mistakes on March 2024, with a remastering from the original master tapes.
