Love & mathematics revisited

2011 marks the 20th anniversary of our label. The series “From the vaults” on Eevo Lute Muzique/EevoNext Recordings features newly mastered classic releases as well as material, never released before and safely stored in our DAT archives for years. 'Love and mathematics' was max 404's first album, rated (*) very highly as 'a superb debut that weaves lighter-than-air atmospherics, tight chrome beats and haunting melodies into a pristine romantic vision of techno'. Highlights include the Mo'Wax sublicensed 'Quiddity' and 'I do not feel like an alien in this universe', a collaboration with Ross154, also known as Newworldaquarium.

Erwin van Moll, called (*) 'one of the high points of European Techno romantic drift', has his roots here on Eevo Lute Muzique, and after a break from dance music for a few years, he currently produces under the name TJ Kong on Compost, Poker Flat and Large Music, amongst others. 'Revisited' brings a unique collection of his best tracks as max 404. Some of them were only released on vinyl before, others were very limited editions. All songs are completely remastered and carefully selected to form a new musical story for listening. Expect a more dance orientated EP later this year.

Still sounds ace :)

Nadja Lind/Klartraum (Lucidflow, Soma, Darkroom Dubs)

Infinite legs + Quiddity - will play this in my lounge dj-sets. Lost has a very cool and indeed lost atmo! Beautiful release overall - it's a journey through different soundscapes and feelings. VERY NICE!!!

Anton Banks ('The Vault' Radio show)

I seem to be one of the few who missed this the first time around. I can see why you chose to re-issue this. This reminds me a bit of some μ-Ziq music minus the distortion. It certainly would have been well ahead of its time when originally released. I'll definitely be using a couple of these tracks on my show. This material is right up my alley. Thanks!

Kazuumi Ishii (Electronic Directory)

Great stuff, still sounds fresh. Good to have this stuff getting a reissue.
