about

25 years after the project’s first release, ISAN –Antony Ryan and Robin Saville– offer a rare glimpse into the early days of what became one of the most iconic electronica endeavours. 8 tracks straight from the "demoing" vault. Available for a limited time exclusively on Bandcamp, all proceeds will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières.

For all people feeling the power of electronics off the commercialized dancefloor-business, these tracks are pure gold. Rough, edgy, yet smooth ideas - a compressed providence of what was to come. Itchy yet informed samples, groovy grooves, endless experiments with melodies, research on how to find the sweet spot between sound design and appeal.

As Robin Saville puts it: "All of the tracks are unreleased from the demo tapes we sent to all those small labels (learning from our rejections by Warp and Rephlex). The tracks all date from the early days of ISAN in the late 1990s. Recorded at home on 4-track cassette around the time of our first releases. We hope that other people might be as interested by these archive recordings as we are, but we never sought to make money out of them. We figured a charitable release was the best way to get them out into the world for anyone who wants to hear them whilst at the same time hopefully doing a little bit of good."

It will take me a year to repeat enough tracks to make any attempt to select a favorite, and that's not a bad thing. Wonderful diversity of music. adventure_tense
