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

2LP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl (45rpm Cut).

WRWTFWW Records is thrilled to announce the first-ever vinyl release of Japanese electronic music producer Virgos debut album, Landform Code, a forgotten underground classic from 1998, now finally available as a limited edition 45rpm cut double LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve.

Originally only released on CD by Tokyo-based cult label FORM@ RECORDS, Landform Code is an absolute gem of smooth, melodic Detroit techno infused with brilliant hints of acid, ambient, and IDM. Its a dreamy, organic, and Imeless record that captures the essence of late 90s electronic innovaIon with a deeply soulful touch.

The 12-track album, radiating with lush melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and textural detail, is an essential (hidden) treasure of electronic music history, transporting the listeners back to the pioneering days of Carl Craig, B12, The Black Dog, Ian O’Brien, or Warps Artificial Intelligence series, beautifully honouring its influences, while solidly standing on its own as a distinct and emotionally resonant piece from Japans underground scene.

Landform Code is released simultaneously with Virgos 1999 follow-up album Remnants, both excavated from the vaults of FORM@ RECORDS which has officially supervised the reissue efforts. This marks the first phase of a collaboraIon between the Swiss and Japanese labels a project that will conInue with forthcoming vinyl releases of FORM@ compilations Art Form I (1997), Art Form 2 (1998), and Re-Form Ver-1.0 (1999).
