| 33-year-old Portland-based Projekt Records is home to Steve Roach, Erik Wollo, Black Tape For A Blue Girl and Voltaire. The label's two-genre approach covers both the electronic/ambient and goth/darkwave realms. With over 50 Steve Roach titles on the label, Projekt is the home for his new albums as well as his catalog classics. His releases include 1984's groundbreaking floating ambient Structures from Silence, which Yoga Journal calls one of the "...top ten all time releases for Yoga." Other Roach milestones include Quiet Music, Dreamtime Return and the 4-CD Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces. Projekt's noteworthy and boundary-pushing darkwave acts established the label in the 90's as the American counterpart to England's famed 4AD. Surviving throughout the decades where so many other labels perished, Projekt continues to bring new artists to the fore while nurturing the careers of the label's biggest acts. Look forward to new releases in 2017 from Roach, Wollo, BlackTape and Voltaire. On CD as well as vinyl. |

Limited edition of 300 Synthesist/multi-instrumentalist Forrest Fang unites ever-shifting electronic-ambient soundworlds with a distinctive global approach; mesmerizing and emotive spacemusic, world music and deep atmospheric zones combine and organically dissipate into a flow of drifting vapor trails. With a rich range of unconventional acoustic instruments, the 73-minute album is a fascinatingly filigreed multi-layered work gliding upon hypnotizing and impressionistic formations. |

| The sound of life, interconnected and unfurling. Roach's long history and love of analog sequencer-based styles reveals a continuing, evolving wakening within Spiral Revelation's 63 minutes. Using only analog and hardware instruments to focus the mind's ear upon a filigree of intricate patterns woven with a direct hands-on approach, an emotional through-line brings life to these pieces as the unfurling of time's windings connects to the vivid present and illuminates with anticipation a life-affirming future. A masterful expression of an artist who has infused his soul into the art form of electronic music. |

Limited edition of 300 An ambient hybrid of traditional Indonesian soundscapes and electronics. Originally released in 2000 on Italy's Amplexus label, Loren extends the release's original 22 minutes to over 69 minutes, culminating in a complete vision capturing a sound that Sequences described as "modern ambient drone music (that) melds with ancient tribal cultures to form something entirely new, sounding ages old." |
Street Date: August 19, 2016
Limited edition of 300 An electronic/ambient release of Erik Wollo's 2015 live performance at the late-night Star's End radio show on WXPN in Philadelphia.

Eschewing the melody and harmony found in Wollo's studio work, Star's End 2015 is an intricate expression of ambience and this artist?s potent skills at creating space and ever-expanding sound-universes. |

| Shadow of Time reconnects to deep breathing atmospherics, textural electronics and zen-like immersion spaces. The inner stillness and sumptuous shimmering of warm analog synthesizers pulse and overlap in harmony as if waves gently touching upon a cosmic shore. A rich 74-minute deep listening experience. "Like all of Roach's best meditative pieces, the silence between and around the chords is as important as the sounds themselves." - Ambient Music Guide |

 On their 30th anniversary, Black Tape For A Blue Girl returns to their evocative ethereal, neoclassical, gothic roots exploring the existential predicaments of time's passage, choices questioned, & loves lost.

| Earth Luminous stirs the memory on an outing through luminescent electronic ambient music where the ethereal is anchored and activated by steady, tactile frame drum and percussive patterns. Byron's tight-to-the-rhythmic-grid substratum pulse serves as a conduit to Erik's lush, emotive and expansive atmospheres. These two sonic explorers find a meeting place where vapor trails and glowing man-made cityscapes merge. |

Steve Roach & Robert Logan: Second Nature Pushing the boundaries of perception-expanding music, Steve Roach and Robert Logan present two vastly different albums which serve as transmissions of powerful emotion and exploration - a blending of man and machine. Biosonic's elegant futurism and Second Nature's romantic minimalism are distinct, yet intimately linked within subtle, pulsing, body-mind states. The former's darkly ecstatic, deeply-layered, electro-neural atmosphere contrasts with the latter's nuanced, spare, ambient-atmospheric piano tone paintings. |

Limited edition of 300 Rise, the third Projekt release from Belgian soundsculptor Stratosphere (a.k.a. Ronald Marien), is a world of shimmering drones, engaging post-rock, and quiet passionate ambient. Textura.org's comment on Stratosphere's previous release applies here as well: "Melody is more pronounced on the Stratosphere set, plus the music is less retiring and more assertive. There's an ambient-drone dimension in play for sure, but Marien also works into the release elements of prog and post-rock. ...the variety on display only makes the result more appealing." |

| A delayed transmission from the early 80s. Discovered serendipitously in 2015, these lost tracks created just prior to the Structures from Silence era represent two then-emerging sides of Steve's artistic muse. "Emotion Revealed" is a mesmerizing, yearning sequencer exploration connected to the German school of electronic music. "Firelight" was his first long-form atmospheric composition of emotional introspection, stillness, silence, and solitude. Two essential touchstones of Steve's sonic origin. |
