the first of 2 epic vinyl retrospectives covering vidnaObmana's obscure cassette period from 1984 till 1986. This 3LP box-set will be released on the fascinating Vinyl On Demand label. A label responsible for reissuing classic and obscure music from well-respected underground bands like SPK, Severed Heads, Esplendor Geometrico, Maurizio Bianchi and many others. 1984-1986 Testament Of Tape captures vidnaObmana in his most experimental phase, searching for his own musical voice moving through various styles. From utterly relentless noise music to rhythmical industrial outbursts, this 3LP set features unreleased and extremely rare tracks from a personal friend's private collection (music that was recorded exclusively for him) to songs from early cassettes releases. Now available on Vinyl On Demand.

Limited edition, housed in A5-jacket. Over 70 minutes of ritual kabbalistic trance. ATOI member Seofon says: "It's the ATOI disc that I've always wanted to see released".Featuring Johannes Ayres (IAO Core), Joshua Maremont (Thermal), Stephen Kent, Roy Robinson (23 Degrees), Mark Wayne (E.A.R.) and vidnaObmana. This is an outtake/unreleased track from the Zero Point (released on The Foundry) sessions vidnaObmana recorded in 2000/2001 for Seofon's album and project.

Already for a long time in the burner, this is for sure the most definite and complete vidnaObmana retrospective. The collection will highlight vidnaObmana's most succesfull and highly-prolific period. Covering 20 years (!) of establishing himself as one of the forerunners in the ambient/fusion scene, this retrospective will be an eight record set, to include a selection of vidnaObmana's best solo recordings over those two decades: songs from critically-acclaimed albums Revealed By Composed Nature, Memories Compiled 1&2, The River Of Appearance, Crossing the Trail, The Surreal Sanctuary, The Contemporary Nocturne, Opera for Four Fusion Works, Tremor, Spore and Legacy. Additionally the set wil hold two records: one capturing vidnaObmana live in concert and the second is a remix 12". The remix twelve-inch features two remixes by legendary artist Justin K. Broadrick. History proved that Justin Broadrick and vidnaObmana knew each other already for a long time due to their own releases on the same cassette labels in the early 80's, a personal connection that was never made until the Jesu/fear falls burning tour in 2007. Justin selected the song 'Out From The Garden Reminded' from vidnaObmana's Revealed By Composed Nature' (a LP Justin bought early 1990 in a London recordstore) and remixed it twice. The 12" therefor holds a fantastic Jesu and Final remix. 1987-2007 Chasing The Odyssee is now scheduled for 2010 on tonefloat.

Remixes based on source-material taken from the anonymously 'BBW' tracks appearing on May The Plague Be With You. Planned as a physical release in 2007 but never issued due to administrative entanglements, this album is now exclusively available as a free download at the Plague Recordings website. vidnaObmana remixed his contribution in 2006, it's no new work as some listeners expected. Other participants are Maarten van der Vleuten, Scanner, Audela, The caretaker, Sid Redlin and Nathan Sister.

Spirit Dome returns with a perfect companion, Live Archive. Two out-of-print releases from this acclaimed ambient duo are brought together in this value-priced 2-CD release. Living proof of the power of live performance, these recordings are so immediate and engaging it would be easy to assume they were crafted over months in the studio. Live Archive, from their 1997 tour, serves as a natural complement to 2004's Spirit Dome, recorded live to stereo master in one take in a studio-like environment.
Steve Roach / vidnaObmana's 2002 CD InnerZone served as the doorway to the surreal environment explored on Spirit Dome. Recorded in one continuous 74 minute session in a hotel room in Philadelphia, this is a dark sanctuary of pure texture and beautiful, if foreboding, dissonance pulled along with pulsing beats, subtle loops and dense soundworlds.The track captures a chilling gothic ambience that offers the exploration of remote psychological states of awareness. This is achieved by way of extensive live processing of instruments including fujara (overtone flute), guitar, and the seemingly bottomless wellspring of electro-acoustic sounds found only in the soundscapes of the duo. Live Archive, on the other hand, collects peak performance moments of pure energy and emotion from the duo's live adventures. The wide range of venues, traveling to various countries, and above all their first tour together fueled their mutual intentions, challenging the artists to create music that does not know the limits of jet lag, equipment failures, and physical demands which occur when leaving the sanctuary of the studio.
