░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ It's with great pride and honour that Alfa Matrix inaugurates its ▒█░
░█▒ new label "vinyl" division with a very very special conceptual ▒█░
░█▒ release: "Thalys" by METROLAND... ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ Something that started as a crazy idea in a text message, got ▒█░
░█▒ followed by a 6 second melody written while the band was on the ▒█░
░█▒ road supporting 80's legend OMD, and eventually morphed into a ▒█░
░█▒ unique multi-cultural adventure and fruitful collaboration with ▒█░
░█▒ the renown international railway company itself: "Thalys", ▒█░
░█▒ symbolised worldwide by its famous high-speed burgundy red ▒█░
░█▒ trains... ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ You are fond of vintage keyboards, you got seduced last year by ▒█░
░█▒ Belgium's METROLAND's successful "Mind The Gap" album and you ▒█░
░█▒ have LP's by KRAFTWERK, TELEX and KOMPUTER in your music ▒█░
░█▒ collection? Then, dear ladies and gentlemen, get seated for a new ▒█░
░█▒ exciting sonic journey across Europe with METROLAND who bring us ▒█░
░█▒ to the next level with their trademark sound made of carrying ▒█░
░█▒ layers of melodic synths, robotic vocals and analogue drum ▒█░
░█▒ machines. ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ This stand-alone "Thalys" 12" release marks the switch for ▒█░
░█▒ METROLAND, from one dimension to another that will be opened and ▒█░
░█▒ revealed in 2015 only... The "Thalys" tune perfectly fits this ▒█░
░█▒ vinyl format with its extended structure in 2 consecutive non- ▒█░
░█▒ stop mixed songs crowned by a splendid (and vinyl exclusive!!) ▒█░
░█▒ remake on the second side by living legend producer/remixer PAUL ▒█░
░█▒ KENDALL (best known for his current work with Alan Wilder ▒█░
░█▒ (RECOIL/DEPECHE MODE) and his numerous remixes and productions ▒█░
░█▒ for the legendary Mute Records). Additionally the B-side song ▒█░
░█▒ "From Station To Station" was created from recycled parts of the ▒█░
░█▒ "Thalys" original song to reach new destinations city after ▒█░
░█▒ city... ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ The included CD edition of the "Thalys" EP features alternative ▒█░
░█▒ versions of the songs including stunning remixes by JONTEKNIK and ▒█░
░█▒ NORTHERN KIND. ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ We will also notice within this challenging travelling ▒█░
░█▒ conceptual project, that although all the burgundy red trains are ▒█░
░█▒ this time departing from METROLAND's homeland capital Brussels, ▒█░
░█▒ the digital version of the "Thalys" EP gets released in 3 ▒█░
░█▒ different language versions according to its final "download" ▒█░
░█▒ destination, with a French version for the "Paris" edition, a ▒█░
░█▒ German version for the "Dⁿsseldorf" edition and a "London" ▒█░
░█▒ edition in English for the rest of the world... Die-hard ▒█░
░█▒ METROLAND collectors will nevertheless find their way around ▒█░
░█▒ these territorial frontiers and embrace all 3 versions thanks to ▒█░
░█▒ Alfa Matrix's official space-travelling Bandcamp machine ▒█░
░█▒ alfamatrix.bandcamp.com . ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ This extraordinary sonic homage by the METROLAND duo to this ▒█░
░█▒ successful 21st century piece of technology and means of ▒█░
░█▒ transportation that is embodied by the Thalys burgundy red trains ▒█░
░█▒ gets marketed by Alfa Matrix in a very limited edition of 333 ▒█░
░█▒ copies in "vinyl+CD package" format. React fast and add this ▒█░
░█▒ ultimate futuristic collaboration to your collection. ▒█░
░█▒ ▒█░
░█▒ METROLAND and Thalys: Man and machine in perfect harmony! ▒█░
