B°TONG (B*TONG / B-TONG/ BTONG) — A Fleeting Moment of Superabundance

Format: LP

Label & Cat.Number: Force Majeure FORCE 013

Release Year: 2023

Note: hard to find B-TONG LP [the French label who co-released this is no longer existing - R.I.P. Stephane! ] recorded during lockdown, everthing was construced with live instruments instead of using field recordings and samples => three long tracks that capture a special period of time, we think one of this best releases so far, super eerie, mysterious, abysmal, not from this world... lim. + handnumbered 300 copies, very nice silkscreen fold out art sleeve

Price (incl. 19% VAT): €25.00

More Info

A Fleeting Moment Of Superabundance came to during the lockdown, when there was not much else to do than tinker with the equipment and play around with ideas. I always knew the day would come... and so it happened: this is the first B°TONG release where I play real live instruments instead of relying on field recordings and samples (plus the occasional voice). This marks the end of B°TONG MKI and the beginning of B°TONG MKII. There's no looking back. You do have to evolve - otherwise it's boring.
