Description
2012 marked the 20th anniversary of Robin Storey’s career as a solo artist recording as Rapoon. Since 1992 and the release of his debut album “Dream Circle”, Robin has been exploring the potential of post-indutrial ambience enhanced with ethnic sounds of African and Indian origin. From the beginning, a crucial aspect of his creative process has involved the use of trial-and-error techniques inspired by contemporary experimentalist Karlheinz Stockhausen and krautrock giants Can and Faust. With more than 50 releases he has established his reputation in the world of experimental electronics, creating elusive soundscapes too enchanting to ignore. His music, by turns evocative, atmospheric and mesmerizing, has gained devoted followers all over the world, including in Poland, in Zoharum’s headquarters. Together with Robin Storey they have prepared this first volume in a series of archive releases celebrating 20 years of Rapoon’s existence. ”Seeds in the Tide” collects all of the rare tracks released on compilations and short-run limited editions. The first disc in this double CD collection, “Keepsakes and Oddities”, contains tracks recorded between 1993 and 1999. The second disc is a reissue of the ultra-limited CDR version of the well-known ”Messianicghosts” album. It includes the original versions of the four tracks from that album that are significantly different from their later variants.
