説明
スコットランド・グラスゴーを拠点に、コズミック・ディスコからアンビエント、オルタナティヴなダンス・サウンドまでを探求してきたレーベル Invisible Inc の10周年を記念したコンピレーション・アルバム。レーベル主宰のGK Machineがキュレーションを手がけ、Legion of Green Men、Tom Chasteen（Exist Dance）、Andy Eardley（Zoviet France）といった伝説的アーティストから、Sordid Sound System、Secret Circuit、Double Geographyなどおなじみのメンバーまで、多彩な才能が集結している。

The second phase of Invisible Inc’s 10-year anniversary celebrations has landed, hot on the heels of the scorching Phase 1.
Where Phase one focussed on the dub-style, electronic and ambient side of the label’s output, the second volume leans slightly more towards the ‘psych’ side of the label and is aptly titled “Resonance: Ten Years of Psychedelic Sounds From The Soul Of Invisible Inc”
As has been a consistent pattern with the label in its decade of existence is its ethos of releasing new and exclusive tracks as well as releasing on vinyl pre-existing tracks that only ever saw the light of day in the digital realm. This compilation is no different. Alongside exclusive new material from Anna vs June, E Ruscha V, Banda Magnética, Exotic Gardens, Kanot and a Coyote remix of Sordid Sound System we also have for the first time on vinyl two tracks by Hena and Futurum that went somewhat under the radar first time round and really deserved to be shared with the wider world.
__________________________
Hena is Ukrainian producer Volodymyr Gnatenko. “Nuan” is pure peyote-powered desert music for pie-eyed travellers!
"Is It Balearic?" label boss Coyote does the honours and remixes the title track from Sordid Sound System's "Gimme Fever" LP turning it into a hypnotic acid dub mantra.
Swedish duo Kanot are Anton Kolbe (Tross) and Jesper Jarold (Fontän) joining forces to make dreamrock for psychonauts.
Also from Sweden are Futurum who with “Prado” deliver a hypnotic bass-driven odyssey through their vast stockpile of vintage hardware.
Exotic Gardens is the alias of Peaking Lights' Aaron Coyes through which he finds a space for acidic experimentation enhanced by live dubstyle mixer operations.
LA-resident Eddie Ruscha, usually a frequent visitor to the label under his cosmic Secret Circuit alias, this time offers up a twisted but somehow soothing ambient exploration with reversed sounds and live bass.
Banda Magnética is the brainchild of Hugo Capablanca (Discos Capablanca) & Borja Caro (Metametal) offering a mindpuzzler of improvised musique concrète.
Athens-based Anna vs June returns to the fold and closes the proceedings with a song of love, relationships, vulnerability and patience drenched in dreamy electronics.
