Welcome back mate

Thanks!

Will not lie, last year sucked (music wise) 

[Starkraver]

LSD had no plans of putting these remixes out on CDs.? 

Nice to see the limited edition numbers have increased from 100 to 200. Wish you more success in the current year.

A beauty

[thanosp81]

So many artists out there that I would love to see their music printed on cds. But it makes it so hard for me to put them on a priority list because for me all of them are on the same spot, first place. So, to make it easier for me I decided to change my way of thinking slightly. It is time to surprise people, go back to the roots, to the artists that started this music genre, the legends.

And the next project is a Legend. He was creating Psychedelic Dub when it didn't even exist as a genre. He worked with The Orb, Youth, Killing Joke, Derrick May, Juno Reactor, Juan Atkins and in groups such as Dub Trees and Celtic Cross.

He has been involved in too many projects to list. He has used many monikers to present his musical creations, Dubsahara, Subsurfing, Metasurfing, Waveshaper, Alien Soap Opera and more. At this point everyone knows that I am talking for Mr Greg Hunter so any more words are unnecessary really.

The 4xCD box set will include the following releases:

CD1: Dubsahara - Geonosis

CD2: Subsurfing - Frozen Ants, The Number Readers, 

CD3: Oïd Mü - The Back End of Nowhere

plus his most recent collaboration with Organismic

CD4: Organismic - Primordial Super Fly

This is our chance to bring something really unique and proudly present it on our music library. 

Very very soon.

I have been impressed as well. The truth is as long as YOU are here the project will be as well

 

EDIT: By YOU I mean all the people that back the projects 

[thanosp81]

The albums included are slightly changed. Now, in tru Digital Reprints fashion, everything included has not been released before on a physical media  

[thanosp81]

The project is live now people. Every bit of support is appreciated. Please remember that even if you don't plan to pledge, sharing on your social media is equally important and helpful.

I think it's time to present you with my latest Kickstarter project.

Elysium - Live...And Beyond

As always 4 Cds in an 8-panel digipack never released before on physical media. I think you all know Kristian and his contribution to the Goa scene. Have a read as an introduction if you want or scroll all the way down for the tracklist.     

 

"I don't usually give a perfect score to releases, but this...this is an exemption. A perfect album by Elysium. All tracks have the distinct Elysium sound but still sound very modern, they are clearly Goa but sound fresh, they sound familiar but they are not a mere rework. And to top it up...they are free to download. For all the record labels managers promoting the new sound of Goa, these tracks deserve a proper (cd) release. Add a couple unreleased tracks and make it a double. Hell, I might even start a kickstarter for that. 10/10 "

Thanos P. May 2015 on Discogs

Admittedly, not the most well written review but it just goes to show the way I felt just after listening for the first time Elysium's Live versions of his classic tracks. And although he was the first to put the first seed of what is now Digital Reprints 4 years ago, it took 8 releases and 7 Kickstarter projects to find his place (with your help) in my music library. 

Coming from the golden age of Goa Trance he managed to establish his own distinct sound with his very first release, Project One in 1994. Rather slow (for Goa Trance standards) tempo, hypnotic melodies and tribal rhythms made him one of the names that come to mind when you try to explain to someone what Goa is about. His collaborations with Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Jean Borelli, Paul Jackson and Graham Wood left us with some stormy classics. 

In 2010 he decided to give for free (with his rest of discography) the live versions of his tracks that he used at his performances. These are not mere retouched versions, but fully fledged out, standing on their own tracks that never forget their roots.

And these tracks are why I am asking your support to print on physical media so as not to be lost in an obscure digital cloud in the distant future. 

The project will be limited to 100 copies worldwide. 10 of those copies will be signed by Kristian and all of them will be hand-numbered. 4 CDs in an 8-panel digipack with a slipcase.  The first 2 CDs will be his live versions, the 3rd will be a collection of side projects and tunes, including some unreleased material. And the 4th disc will be a compilation of downtempo tracks to chill you out, introducing his most recent alter ego, Stereo Dwarf, released for the first time. And as always you will be able to add it on your Bandcamp collection, you don't want to wear out that little shiny disc, do you?

The people that have backed me up on my previous project know what they are getting. The rest, well...just check their comments on my Bandcamp or Discogs profile and you'll know you wont be disappointed.

I don't really like too many words, in my projects music does the talking and so far has worked quite well, don't you think?

Turn your volume up, press play and dance like no one is watching.

Zen Baboon - Re-Visited

http://kck.st/2u5WcGK

https://digitalreprints.bandcamp.com/album/re-visited-kickstarter-project

Amazing, isn't it? Digital Reprints has already 10 releases under her belt. That means You have contributed in bringing 10 amazing releases in our space-time continuum. So what now? 

One place we haven't yet visited is the Mediterranean. I know it's still the middle of winter (this side of the globe at least) but before you know it Spring will be here. And there is a duo, located in beautiful Portugal who know exactly what music to provide to lift your spirits and take you towards a sunny journey. 

That duo is known as Zen Baboon of course

Henriq and Daniel released their debut album, Suber, in Elektric Dream Records on 2013. It was a fine mix of Chillout, Downtempo, Lounge and Ambient music, masterfully balancing between the two extremes without favouring one over the other. It was their first, and unfortunately, their last physical release. 

After the critical appraise of their debut album, followed releases on various compilations. It was 3 years later, in their own label (Baboon Clinic) that their second album was released. At the same year is when Zen Baboon became more productive releasing various EPs. In 2019 their last album saw the light. An astounding release of downtempo tunes accompanied by spoken words and poetry. 

But what about the music collectors out there? The fans that take pride on showcasing their collection and having an exhilarating feeling when they are actually holding a release in their hands? 

Probably you have already pledged even before you reached these words but in case you are new to Digital Reprints here is what you get.

By helping us reach our goal you will take pride knowing that you helped bring a truly limited release to existence. A 4xCD digipack with the albums Origiro and Beat Generation and 2 discs with various tracks compiled by Henrique himself. But that's not all. Almost all the tracks will be alternate versions of the ones currently available. Either remastered, edited for this release or remixed for live shows. And just 100 copies worldwide. 

What else is there to ask? Oh yeah, 10 copies (only) will be signed by Henriq and Daniel.

To be honest, I didn't even know! But then again, I'm a music collector.

My wallet weeps even without that but cool anyway!

In fact, I listened to a good chunk of it today at work. Here we go again, I guess!

But has anyone released the original version of Chomolungma yet? It moves people around, even if they're sitting!

[thanosp81]

Wow, that post takes dedication. Thank you for that....and your money

I think the track started circulating in 2009 - 2010 as "Chomolungma". At some point it was called "Chomolungma (Aiana)" and it was available on SoundCloud. Then it evolved quite heavily and was first released on Goa Beach Volume 22 CD in 2014 (I think), then in the Collected Downtempo digital release in 2016. But that released version is quite different from the minimalistic, bass-driven promo, hence my question regarding the "original version". If they consider the later Aiana incarnation the definitive version then so be it, but I still prefer the more mystical one and I was a bit disappointed when it didn't make it on the albums.
