No, not wasted concepts shoved onto a high quality digital copy to charge people $50 for, it feels like the potential of anything brought into reality. Because that’s what the full version of BT’s new album feels like. Sometimes music starts out intended for a movie and it gets canceled and the work is left there on the cutting room floor with nothing left to do with it but chuck it into an album of other things you’ve been working on for two years while going to Tokyo, visiting the Code of Hammurabi and waking up pondering existence in the middle of the night. Just because he wrote Lustral with the intention of it going into a movie doesn’t mean it can’t count as something that’s a part of this untitled album written when thinking about flying. I have no intention of calling BT a liar here. Also I love how Black Hole Recordings has an accidental “n” in front of Artifacture.Īnd adding to the fascination is that BT told everyone this album was built across the past two years in his travels, mostly inspired by thoughts of flight. It’s right there down below, track 3 of 9. What interesting a puzzle to pull apart then is BT’s latest album that goes by no name and releases in two different editions and has a tracklisting that includes Lustral in it. He’s just a complex guy, which means devouring his music (or vice versa) is not as simple as “listen to it”. And fans of BT’s work get an extra layer of uncovering the intricacies and potential purpose or meaning of his albums and music. And that’s not a shame, that’s just the reality of how music gets released and how fans get to chase after different editions and uncover unheard of music. If I buy the US version of that same album I’ll have “Lullaby for Gaia” in its place. album but only in the UK version of the disc. Recently I got super excited that a used copy of “10 Years in the Life” I bought had a full mix of “The Road to Lostwithel”, a breakbeat track on his E.S.C.M. ![]() Sometimes those hidden little nuggets, remixes, or just “good finds” date back to BT’s early years in the late 90s. And for a producer, composer, and electronic explorer like BT, fans of his work will undoubtedly have a random obscure release or remix of one of his tracks somewhere in their library. The track was called “Lustral” and it has been sitting on my hard drive and in my iTunes library since its original release back in 2014.
