• Track Listing

2014 two CD collection. MEMORY & MATTER comprises selected remixes and rarities from the past seven years, nine of them previously unreleased and many of them only issued only on hard to find EPs or as Japanese release bonus tracks. Far from being merely a collection of every single oddity, these tracks were carefully selected into a consistent whole that maintains the same high standard of proper Manual albums. Disc One demonstrates Jonas Munk's (AKA Manual) expertise in creating elegantly layered, shoegazey pop, while Disc Two focuses on minimalist, slow-moving pieces created mostly from processed guitars. The latter adds an excellent postscript to CONFLUENCE - an album that has gained near-classic status in ambient/drone circles since it's release in 2008.
