“Projekt200 is more than a retrospective; it’s a work of art in its own right, a chronicle of Projekt’s journey from cult ethereal/ambient label to darkwave powerhouse.” — RegenMag.com

Released August 2007 • Limited to 2500 packaged in a super-lovely DVD-sized “DVStar” package with an 8-page booklet (Audio CDs, no DVD or video content). Concept, Song Selection, Image Processing & Graphic Design by Sam Rosenthal. Cover Photo by Vaclav Jirasek | vjirasek.com. Booklet flower images & rock spiral image by Pixie Vision Productions.

Projekt celebrates its 200th release with this limited edition 3-CD set. Begun in 1983, Projekt is America’s premier independent label specializing in passionate, intense music in the darkwave, shoegazer, dream-pop, ethereal & ambient genres. 32 songs plus brand new tracks recorded exclusively for PROJEKT200.

Sam writes: Yes! As hard as it is to imagine, PROJEKT now has 200 releases. 24 years in the making, I put together this 3-CD compilation covering three distinct parts of the Projekt sound: The Early Years, The Current Era, and Ambient Loop. Packaged in a beautiful DVD-Sized “DVStar” package, this is a limited edition release full of love and passion. I have been thinking, for many years, about how to represent the label, when we turned 200… I dived into the Projekt catalog and picked some of my favorite songs to represent all aspects of “the Projekt sound.”

There are also some new tracks recorded just for PROJEKT200. Tearwave brings you the gorgeous “Comfort in Angel’s Wings.” I recorded a new Black Tape For A Blue Girl song, “I Strike You Down,” with Elysabeth on vocals, and featuring some nice guitar textures from Doug of Tearwave. There’s a brand new track from Lovespirals returning to the dream-pop sound people love in Ryan’s work. There are also unreleased ambient/electronic tracks from Alio Die, Fear Falls Burning and Vidna Obmana. PROJEKT200 also includes a brand new mix of Black Tape For A Blue Girl’s “Across A Thousand Blades” plus a Steve Roach track that is not actually on Projekt at all (it’s from one of his Timeroom releases): “In The Eyes Of Noche” which features some of my piano as well as ethereal female vocals.

I am very excited and proud to present this overview of the label as we prepare to enter our 25th year!
