Notes

From front cover: *Por Jose. On back cover, track "ELEH034 - Madrid" marked with asterix.

From press release:
"Homage To The Pointed Waveforms" is the final release in a series dedicated to specific sound waves. Following Homage To The Square Wave and Homage To The Sine Wave, "Homage To The Pointed Waveforms" explores composition with triangle and sawtooth waves through studies of a dense modular system. Variations were performed live in Barcelona, Brussels and Madrid during spring 2011 but this LP is the next step. Side A contains a version of the piece that was conceived for the shows, which evolved during the three performances as it was continually reworked. Mixed with travel memories, the two tracks on side B are reflections on the arrangement."

Hand-numbered edition of 500 copies, mastered direct to metal and pressed on 200g virgin vinyl, packaged in a custom 2-color letterpress jacket.

Note: This release was significantly delayed by a manufacturing anomaly. Distortion on track 1 of side B proved to be exceptionally difficult. After months of consulting with experts, test cuts and multiple remasters, the same phantom signals kept materializing. Regarding the situation, after much struggle, one cutting engineer said, “this is a problem of the audio itself, its structure and the specific combination of frequencies.” A tough decision had to be made; either release a one-sided record or a two-sided record where the b-side is a collaboration between Eleh and an unknown phenomenon. The resolution to fraternize with the limitations of vinyl cutting/playback and accept the intermodulation was made after much trial and error. Hopefully, without a direct comparison to the master recording, the distortion will go unnoticed by most listeners. Despite being created with analog synths, the clean transfer of this recording to LP proved onerous & the results bypass the periphery of the medium.Taiga Records

6 out of 500 pressed copies are on sale here and listed as unplayed, for pretty outrageous prices. I understand Eleh's music is in popular demand, but this kind of trading of Eleh releases is absolutely disgusting. How naive of me to think that this music deserves to be heard by people who actually like to listen to it!

Indeed, this is a great loss for people who really like Eleh's music...

This record sold out in one hour today. I need a copy if anyone has an extra. I live ten minutes away from their offices in Minneapolis and still no cheddar. Congrats to Taiga and we wish them continued success with their beautiful releases.

Boomkat have copies, but not for long...

Dont' worry, loads of these would've been bought up by dealers. There'll be plenty of copies for sale on here soon, if you don't mind inflated prices!?
