Curious Music is pleased to announce the limited-edition vinyl release of Inlandish by Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Tim Story. Heralded as "beautifully eerie, a world unto itself" by The Guardian, and named "CD of the Week" in a five-star review by The Sunday Times when first released in 2008, this third collaboration between electronic music legend Roedelius and the American composer and producer Story was immediately acclaimed as their most inviting work, an artful blend of electronic and acoustic sounds that create a warm, welcoming, and curious collection of pieces.
This first vinyl release comes in a high-quality limited edition run of 500 copies on double 180-gram translucent red vinyl in a deluxe matte finish gatefold sleeve. Included is a high-definition art print signed by Roedelius/Story, a previously unreleased bonus track "Ellipsish" from the Inlandish sessions, and new liner notes by Tim Story.
