Since releasing albums such as 'Gnayse' and 'Soup' on AUTECHRE's label, UK producer BOLA (the label that discovered BOARDS OF CANADA) has become renowned for his emotive, deep electronica.
'Shapes' features rare tracks never before on CD, they were first released as a triple 12" package shortly after BOLA's first full album 'Soup' in 1999.
The release was simply packaged with no artist or label credits, just a white shape on a black background on each of the labels with only 300 copies released worldwide so, not surprisingly it came and went quickly and has become a release much sought after by the collectors.
We always felt that the tracks deserved a wider audience so recently we blew the dust off the DAT tape, had the tracks remastered, added three bonus tracks for good measure (including two unreleased tracks written during the same period), and here's the result; the 'Shapes' CD.
