full ordering details at www.bochumwelt.com. The latest release on Gianluigi di Costanzo’s KROMODE imprint is a 4 track compilation composed, produced, released and distributed entirely digitally. Utilizing technology developed by Thomas Dolby’s Headspace , the four featured artists deliver CD quality digital audio tracks playable through the listener’s web browser. Choosing to bypass the lossy compression and large file sizes of MP3’s, Headspace’s Beatnik technology produces high fidelity tracks with incredibly small file sizes. Available only directly from KROMODE via email, the $6 compilation includes one exclusive track each from Bochum Welt (Rephlex, Sony Japan), Andy (BlueVertigo: Sony, Columbia), Masanori Ajioka (TRACE-Japan) and Kim Cascone (Silent, Rastermusic, Headspace). Tracks styles span the range from new-wave romantic electro to ambient soundscapes, with consistent quality being the unifying thread.
