Finally! We are extremely proud and honored to announce that the Selaxon Lutberg + Subinterior The Meeting 12″ 2xLP is now available for preorder in our webshop! The Meeting chronicles a 4-part mini series of collaborations between these two Italian ambient artists composed over about a 2 1/2 year span. Originally released separately as 3″ CD-R editions limited to 50 copies on Selaxon Lutberg’s own label, Cold Current Productions, we found this to be too good to be heard by so few people and limited to the CD-R format. So, we are proud to be working with Denovali Records of Germany to finally make these releases available as one glorious vinyl 2xLP set, mastered specifically for vinyl by Andrea Marutti of Amon, Sil Muir, and many others, who is also the owner of Afe Records and Lips Vago Digital Studio. Each part of The Meeting is dedicated to a season and is given one side of 12″ vinyl, starting with Winter Meeting and going through the seasons in order to end with Fall Meeting. The sound on each part is slightly different and is reflective of the mood or feel of its respective season, ranging from cold, icy textures to warm soothing ambience. In order to properly honor this release and do it justice, this special 2xLP set will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl housed in thick, sturdy gatefold jackets with printed inner sleeves for the records, as is shown in the image above. This will be strictly limited to a total number of 500 copies in two different editions: 300 copies on classic black vinyl and 200 copies on a special clear/grey mix, shown in the image above. We expect to have these in stock and ready to ship by mid February!

8 of the 12 tracks can be heard here. Please visit our webshop to place a preorder for this release. If you are a European customer, unless you are ordering other items from our webshop in addition to this release, we suggest that you preorder from Denovali Records in Germany. After the preorder is over, we will be raising the price of these by $2, so order now and save a little  money!
