He put out three digital only releases on Bedroom Research last year, not including the free bonus tracks that come with Bandcamp purchase. These tracks span different parts of his time as Freeform: "REWIND" is a retrospective in the shape of 3 albums ( Rewind Below, Rewind Above and Rewing Beyond) each corresponding to a period in Simon's ever evolving discography, ranging from the early 90s to the early 2000s. A fascinating trip into unheard gems of totally brittish yet global or even interstellar electronica. 100% Freeform inside with the expected unique blend of Traditional "World" Music, FM percussions, IDM, Prepared Instruments, aquatic Jazz, Muzak, Musique Concrete, Funk, etc. Currently my favorite of the releases: https://bedroomresearch.bandcamp.com/album/rewind-beyond On Tue, May 1, 2018 at 1:58 PM, Clint Anderson <clinta@gmail.com> wrote:
