VIRGO – Remnants (Reissue) – 2LP – Vinyl [NOV 7]

2LP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl (45rpm Cut) housed in a heavyweight sleeve.

The first-ever vinyl release of Japanese electronic music producer Virgo‘s unheralded sophomore album, Remnants, a sleeper underground hit from 1999, now finally available as a limited edition 45rpm cut double LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve. Released only on CD in 1999 by Tokyo-based cult label Form@ Records, Remnants is a quietly visionary record: mellow ambient techno, fluid electronica, and soul-laced atmospherics with the spirit of Detroit close to the heart.

As the follow-up to his essential debut Landform Code, Virgo expands his palette here – working in widescreen textures, warm synth tones, and patient, emotive arrangements that feel both intimate and cinematic. The result is lush, heartfelt, and simply brilliant – a late ’90s statement that rewards deep, repeated listening. Remnants sits comfortably alongside the era’s best explorations in soulful techno, ambient, and IDM, recalling the sensibilities of B12, The Black Dog, Ian O’Brien, and the lineage of labels Warp, Likemind and Clear, while remaining distinctly Virgo – subtle, sophisticated, and unexpectedly moving.
