Fennesz: Endless Summer

Label: Editions Mego

Adorning the front of our store right now in the form a light box is Christian Fennesz’s electronic masterpiece, Endless Summer. It’s warm, inviting image of a sunset and the sea has been a welcome contrast to these frosty winter days, and the music has had a similar effect on us. Originally released in 2001, the album quickly established itself as a classic in the genre, breaking new ground in electronic music with its ingenious use of guitars, synths, percussion and samples. The new version has been remixed by Fennesz himself and contains two bonus tracks. An absolutely essential disc in the history of electronica. (James)
