As tradition goes, I forget about maintaining the blog and end up having to do a big update post. So here we are again, just past the middle of November, with a new update post. Old habits die hard I guess...
Anyway, so what have I missed telling you about?
August saw the release of my second 12" for Over/Shadow. Black Rain / Sixth Sense came out to critical acclaim, featuring EP of the week at Bleep, and mentions on the Bandcamp Daily round up of the best new music. There'll be more music forthcoming on Over/Shadow in 2023, but more on that nearer the time.
I contributed a track by the name of Contemplation to Headphone
Commute's 'For Ukraine (Volume 3', which was a charity compilation with
all the proceeds going to help the people of Ukraine during this ongoing
crisis.
Spatial 004, 005 and 006 were released. Two EP's by myself (A Storm In Space 004 and Quantum State 006) and one by Simon (Aural Imbalance 005). These are selling pretty quick, so if you don't want to miss out, I'd suggest not hesitating. We are repressing 001, 002 and 003 in different colours, but there's no guarantee we'll keep repressing every release once it's sold out. It'll all depend on demand obviously.
So after these dropped, the follow up to Original Soundtrack, another piano-infused ambient album by the name of Colours Of Absence came out on Auxiliary. This is out now on 2 x clear vinyl with a lovely picture sleeve.
Hot on the heels of that was my debut EP for Past Inside The Present, which feature another four slices of mid 90's atmospheric drum & bass nostalgia, much in the same vein as the Spatial releases. Eye Of The Storm is out now on vinyl, with the added coolness that each piece of vinyl is a different colour, and there's no telling which one you'll get, but it'll be unique exclusively to you.
Forthcoming is a remix for Joachim Spieth on an album of ambient remixes called Reshapes. This will be due out on Affin very soon.

We've just put up pre-orders for the next two vinyl reissues from my Silent Season ambient album works. Fervent Dream and Truth Be Told will both be available on 2x12" format with full colour picture sleeve, featuring the same iconic artwork by Danthon that the original CD's featured.
On top of that, Spatial 007/008/009 will be going up for pre-order on December 2nd, but keep that to yourself for now. Shhh...

Until I end up forgetting about the blog and do a big update once again...
Peace,

Another 3 spatial 12”s , before Xmas? Cubic zirconia instead of diamonds for the wife this year….. do you ever rest? Plus your album on Over/Shadow coming in the new year…..
Pre-order! Release date will be Feb 2023 for Spatial 007-009. Over/Shadow LP? Where did you hear that?
Unfortunately you have to pay upfront on Bandcamp….

Overshadow let it slip….
You are correct in that sense, but we're leaving the pre-order up for a few months this time, to give people plenty of time over Christmas/New Year.
As for the Over/Shadow LP, I must have missed that! But I guess the cat is out of the bag now :)
I think you should get Illuvia on the Spatial express? After his asip
Album I’m sure lots of people are gagging for more….
Spatial seems the perfect place for it.
I'd never say no to good music, but the schedule is already up to SPTL019, so it might be a while before I think about taking on new music.
19??!! What are you going to do after spring next year lol.
Any lp’s planned?
Hah! LP's have been discussed and we'll probably start work on something during next year, but first of all, we need to get the mix series off the ground, which we plan to do before end of year, which means writing new material. Fortunately, we're both on the case with writing new material, and me and Simon have just finished a second collaborative EP that got sent for mastering last week. Plenty to look forward to in 2023, but we're not planning TOO far ahead.
Just enjoying the ride so far and trying not to take anything for granted with this recent atmospheric dnb revival. We both just feel very grateful that there's a buying audience out there who are making Spatial a success to date :)
Very wise, music is a fickle business these days….. the revival of atmospheric dnb is somewhat of a surprise as it’s so far removed from current dnb….
It’s come at the right/wrong time for me, got back into it, buying original gems that I missed out on the first time around and then this revival started…. Old heads like Mike Bolton (pfm) coming back into the fold… but yours and Simon’s music not a revival of this sound really, because it’s completely unique and unlike anything I’ve heard before…. And that I hope will keep people interested and buying more of your music for a long time to come…. Keep up the amazing work, hope you have success for the future. P.s. volatile is the bomb!!
Thanks for the kind words. Neither of us feel connected to drum & bass in the modern sense, so it allows us to operate at a much slower tempo and really just kinda do our own thing. I'd like to think this is seen as the next evolution of that classic 90's sound we all know and love. Regardless of however it's perceived, we're just having a lot of fun, and producing music we're extremely proud of :)
Thanks for updating;)
Any chance of reissues at some point on CD as well?
No Spatial CD's are planned right now
