erthygl absolute boogie classics from idm gurus.
example of intelligent electro approach. Favorite track: Little Alien.

Obstacle of Affliction Absolute classic IDM album full of bangers. Acid abounds.
When this was released, it became a favorite party CD. No matter if drunk, high, tripping, or sober, Tone Capsule never failed to uplift spirits and move bodies. The music was like a drug itself.
It is incredibly awesome to have it remastered and to revisit decades later.
Reminds me of good times when I was young, naive, and still full of hope. Favorite track: Freq Shift.

about

'The story of IDM in the USA begins in Miami’

PREVIEWS: on.soundcloud.com/5HbTX

Control Freak Recordings are thrilled to be launching its new reissue sub-label with Soul Oddity’s Tone Capsule - a seminal electro/IDM classic from mid-90s Miami.

Originally released as a series of 3 EPs, the reissue compiles these into a single release, newly remastered by Keith Tenniswood (Radioactive Man) - available digitally and, for the first time, a a x2LP album.

Soul Oddity marked the first outing for a pair of musicians who were instrumental in bringing the UK's post-rave IDM scene to the US. Having bonded over a love for the Warp output at the time, the pair fused this influence with the sound of their native Miami, where hip-hop, breaks and bass soundtracked a lively party scene.

A masterpiece of machine-driven, emotionally abstract storytelling, Tone Capsule rivals some of the best of 90s leftfield electronica. Twitchy beats and gloopy synth-funk are melded into jams that make for a seriously otherworldly listen - as forward-thinking now as it was in 1996.

This record kickstarts our new reissue sub label Capsule Freak - marking the beginning of our dive into the rich past of dance music history which has brought the scene we love to where it is today. We can’t think of a more fitting time capsule to begin this journey with - over two years in the making, we hope you find this release as wild and intriguing as we do.

Please note - owing to licensing restrictions, we are unable to offer single-track downloads, only the album in its entirety.
