Butcher Block Andromeda

by Milieu

supported by

Dennis Albrecht As one of the most diverse albums in the Milieu catalogue, Butcher Block Andromeda gives new listeners a great overview of what to expect from Brian, as well as a great re-discovery for old-time listeners who (as myself) might overlooked certain styles in the past. It is not possible to choose a favourite on this one, as the styles are so vast. An astonishing album that you can easily play with guests or alone within your own headspace - can't wait for the physical copy to arrive.

Zachary Seal. A quandary of galactic cyanide for the ego. Favorite track: For Naoya & Miho.

Kevin Singletary I love the beats, the backgrounds, and how parts of it randomly stick with me hours later. I put this on to focus or relax, and it works either way. Favorite track: Blue Bath.

Reified Milieu's music is perfect for walking down forest paths, while carefully crafting ways to unleash abstractions upon the world. Thanks. Favorite track: Neon 9000.

Jukebox is broke ~ an awesome best-of/ introductory album, def sold me. A must for anyone getting their first taste of Mileu's original warble-tech sound ~

Rik Johnson A great collection that gives the listener a sample Brian's Milieu project. Favorite track: Phosphene Weather.

about

Butcher Block Andromeda (graciously christened by Kirk Marrison of Kiln) represents a decade of Milieu music, from its inauguration in May of 2004 to its 10th anniversary celebration in May of 2014. Fifty tracks, carefully selected from dozens of albums, EPs, singles and compilations, lovingly remastered (and in some cases appended for time) to be presented here in this thorough and detailed "beginner's guide". Across the three-disc, four-hour affair, we hear facets of all the various phases Milieu has gone through over the years - from the mid-fi melodies over slow tempos to the house and techno-inflected groovers, from the glitchy atmospheric pieces to the deep ambient odysseys, right on up to present day Milieu, a playful bedroom braindance sound. For both longtime listeners and new recruits, Butcher Block Andromeda should be a fresh and colorful experience of vibrant electronic music, newly minted with a 2014 paint job.

**Digital version comes with seven high-resolution Milieu desktop wallpapers, designed by Eric Adrian Lee.

Jynx's Garden
by Mrs Jynx

supported by 41 fans who also own “Butcher Block Andromeda”

Big ups to Brian Grainger for this fine release by Mrs. Jynx on his Recycled Plastics, label. I first heard Davidson’s music after listening to her Planet Mu LPs. There’s something about her sound that’s slightly reminiscent of Mike Paradina’s more playful melodic work, which appealed to me immediately. This collection of tracks continues with her use of colorful, pastoral melodies and atmospheres, some propelled by beautiful beats, others floating on air. Essential electronic listening s.loya

Tigress effortlessly gliding between the stoned, dusty grooves with that instantly identifiable "just behind the beat" bass line - one of my all time favourites amongst many from Brian's myriad milieu of mazey marvels. da5idh
