dome12345 /  dome 1-4+5 5lp box dome b.c. gilbert & g. lewis floating-point re-master by russell haswell, august 2011 cut at dubplates & mastering by rashad becker, august 2011 new artwork and layout: dave coppenhall editions mego are proud to release the complete recorded works of dome in a deluxe vinyl box set that that also includes newly designed artwork by david coppenhall, reproductions of the original atelier koninck posters that accompanied dome 1 and dome 2, insert with sleeve notes by howard jacques and neil martinson as well as unseen photos from the period. if that wasn't enough it also contains a matchbox to put matches in to shake along to your favourite dome tune! with the demise of the group wire in 1980, founder members bruce gilbert and graham lewis joined forces to create dome. with the assistance of engineer eric radcliffe and his blackwing studio dome took the ethic of “using the studio as a compositional tool” and recorded and released three dome albums on their own label in the space of 12 months: dome (july 1980), dome 2 (october 1980) and dome 3 (october 1981). a final fourth album, will you speak this word: dome iv was released on the norwegian uniton label in may 1983. these albums represent some of the most beautifuly stark and above all timeless exercises in studio experimentation from early 1980s alternative music scene. with the re-activation of wire in 1985 it was thought that all dome activity had ceased. whilst no new recordings appeared dome utilised any spare time to secretly record new pieces. in 1989 dancer/choreographer michael clark commissioned them to record a piece for his new ballet ‘because we must’. in the same year they also performed live in rotterdam and amsterdam. in 1999 wmo commissioned dome to record new pieces to accompany the recordings from 1989. this compilation, entitled yclept, would be the final recordings, to date, that dome have made. dome 1-4 appearing on vinyl for the first time in over 30 years, whereas the recordings making up yclept (dome 5) appear for the first time on vinyl.

emego 102 / bruce gilbert this way cd music by bruce gilbert engineered by john fryer recorded at blackwing studios remastered by russell haswell @ haswell studios new artwork by dave coppenhall this way, originally released in 1984 on mute (stumm 18), was bruce gilbert’s first solo album being realised in that brief period between dome winding down operations and wire reforming for first time. a stunning study of controlled ambience and subtle minimalism, which is still regarded as an all time favourite to us here at editions mego. the bulk of the album is taken up by the mighty do you me? i did / swamp pieces which were commissioned for piece of the same name by choreographer michael clark. a grey tonal poem of amazing bleak beauty building up to the ecstatic crescendo of the third movement. elsewhere short notes on the possibilities of abstract electronic noise are included in the form of here visit and u, mu, u, which still hold their sense of urgency a quarter of a century after being initially recorded. this is also the first time the complete album is available domestically on cd. previous cd issues were the this way to the shivering man on mute (with u mu u missing), and the japan only 3 cd box with this way, shivering man and insiding previously released by alfa recordings. this 25th anniversary reissue is remastered by russell haswell and contains a re-work by dave coppenhall on angela conway’s original artwork.
