'Airstrikes' is Robin Storey's brand new album on Zoharum since 'Blue Days' released back in 2015. Unlike the latter, 'Airstrikes' contains longer compositions that combine the different recurring themes from Rapoon repertoire from the past 25 years. These are both inspirations from oriental music and rhythmic structures that derive directly from dance music. The seven compositions on the album are subtle observations of the processes taking place in the modern world.
Airstrikes announced on the news bulletin with the same detachment as announcing a rise in the price of petrol... A computer game… a dancing crosshairs above a target... The sound of a dulcimer playing an ancient song careens through the dusty, dry desert air... Life persists.... we are such stuff as dreams are made on…
'Airstrikes' is released in three versions: - as a single album - as a double album with the recording of the Warsaw gig entitled 'Easterly Moon' (100 copies only) - as a wooden box celebrating 25 years of Rapoon featuring the 2CD version of the new album, a cassette version of 'Airstrikes', a second tape entitled 'Ghost Circle' (featuring the most interesting compositions from Rapoon discography personally selected by Robin Storey) and a set of curios (50 copies only)
The CD is housed in gatefold sleeve and is strictly limited to 400 copies. The cover is based on paintings by Robin Storey and the design was handled by Maciej Mehring. 'Airstrikes' was mastered by Maciej Bartkowiak (who was the mastering engineer on previous Rapoon releases). The whole production process was overseen by Michał Porwet.
This is the 4th Rapoon release on Zoharum. And this one is really a treat. The double album celebrates the 20th anniversary of "Vernal Crossing" release, Robin Storey's third album. But it's not a mere reissue. The artist revisited the original and adapted it for the 21 century, hence the title. "Vernal Crossing Revisited" is two sides of the same coin:...
The third volume in our ongoing series of albums collating Rapoon's rarities from 2003 and 2004. As always it's composed of 2 discs. The first one features two rare releases; number one is "Monomyth: Par Avion" CDR (limited to 199 copies only) is a source material for a collaborative album with Birds of Tin, and number two is "Jane from Whitley Bar" 7"...
After three well-received, new albums ("Time-loop Anomalies" [2012], "To West and Blue" [2013] and "Fall of Drums" [2014]) and a series of reissues and archive collections, Rapoon returns to Zoharum with a brand new album. "Blue Days" is completely different from those previous releases. While on those three albums long, slowly developing compositions...
Together with a new publishing album entitled "Blue Days", Zoharum releases the fourth part in the series of RAPOON's archival recordings entitled "Seeds in the Tide". Like the previous three, this album is divided into two parts. In the first one we find songs from the years 2005-2007 from rare, limited releases, various artists compilations plus a remix...
The current edition, along with most other Rapoon re-releases in the Zoharum catalog, has been expanded to include an additional disc featuring refreshed unpublished recordings from the same session. On this second disc Robin Storey penetrates more rhythmic regions again, but with a strong melodious backbone. The extra 70 minutes completes the original...
We would like to present another album in Rapoon reissue series. And this is an unusual album. Released in 2002, "Rhiz" is an album with ... dance music. Robin Storey continued to use distinctive elements for his work, such as blurry vocal samples and drones sound passages, but rhythm is in the forefront in six "Rhiz" tracks. A good ear will find here...
Here's the fifth instalment in the series entitled 'Seeds in the Tide' featuring rare and unreleased Rapoon recordings. The next part focuses on 2008-2011 compositions from Robin Storey's project history. These seventeen diverse pieces are a great introduction to Rapoon's body of work, and at the same time they will please all the hardcore fans searching...
