• Track Listing

Extremely limited vinyl picture disc vinyl LP pressing. Volume 9 in Dekorder's series of highly limited Hybrid-Vinyl 12" releases. Hybrid-Vinyl is a newly devised combination of a Picture-Disc on one side and a regular vinyl release on the other. The audio will be cut into the black vinyl side to utilize the superior audio quality of classic vinyl (compared to the often weaker sounding picture disc pressings). Le Révélateur - multimedia duo of visual artist Sabrina Ratté and composer Roger Tellier-Craig - return with Hyper, a bold stylistic leap that represents their most experimental and conceptually rich work to date. Having already begun to move away from their trademark analog synth panoramas, Hyper goes even further in expanding the digital abstractions that first bubbled to the surface on 2014's Extreme Events. Gone are the hypnotic arabesques and Berlin School melodicism that characterized Tellier-Craig's earlier efforts; in their stead, he offers two deeply engrossing examples of cutting edge electronic music that eschew nostalgia and pastiche. What results is not so much a departure - those familiar with Le Révélateur will still recognize Tellier-Craig's deft hand at work - as it is a logical, if no less radical, development of his aesthetic with staggering and deeply satisfying results.
