About this product
Following 2016's On the Legs of Love Purified and the recent InchDivine IllusionInch single, The Mirage pushes the band's ethereal sound into the murky depths of dub. Marking a sonic shift for the project, we find the duo trading in chaotic bursts of noise for understated minimalism that's still characteristically melancholic and potent with emotion. Labrador's drum production is as deft as ever with an expanded range of electronic samples and tape delay induced polyrhythms. Layered with Madden's persistently dubby bass, Labrador's sparse guitar and gliding soprano float above a labyrinth of hypnotic sequences. These dublaced dirges signify growth within the band, heard in their command of repetition, space, and effects to build a pervasive mood that's often utterly heartbreaking. The Mirage was conceived following major upheaval in the pair's lives, including the loss of Madden's brother and a number of friends in Oakland's Ghost Ship warehouse fire in 2016. Compounded with the dissolution of a marriage, and leaving San Francisco to relocate to Los Angeles, the album is an exploration of grief and the multifaceted heartbreak that follows such events. 'The Mirage' tells candid narratives of a heavy heart but does not wallow in despair.

'Mirage' is the anticipated fourth album from London-based Japanese producer Anchorsong aka Masaaki Yoshida. The highly-fêted MPC wizard presents a record that evokes hazy soundscapes constructed with wind instrumentals, choirs, and global sonic particles. Building on Anchorsong's long-standing tradition of Inchborderless musicInch, 'Mirage' fuses intricate rhythms with minimal yet immersive rich interplays of sound to create an auditory odyssey. 'Mirage' marks a departure from Anchorsong's previous two albums - 'Ceremonial' and 'Cohesion' - specific geographical references. Instead, the album which was half-written during lockdown and when nobody could travel, shows Masaaki internalise his global influences and worldview to conjure a Inchvague landscape that only exists in my mindInch. InchI let my imagination run wild and thought of places I've never been to. The tracks that came out of this process diversified the tones and colour of the record further. I hope it takes a listener on the journey I experienced.Inch1. Flourish2. Common Ground3. Horseback4. The Ocean feat. Bookend5. Saudade6. Remedy7. Hundred Lotus8. Tunis Dream9. Windmills10. New World
![Delerium - Chimera - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d38b0707-bffc-4338-85a4-b3ae6f2d7d5c.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Delerium's Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb lighten up their sound on Chimera, as the darker fixations of early records like Morpheus retreat yet further into the background. After Sarah McLachlan's lovely turn on the single InchSilence,Inch and the massive success of 1997's Karma, the duo have dutifully embraced their winning combination of ethereal female vocalists and ambient dance-pop. On Chimera, the formula yields a few worthy singles, such as the limber and catchy InchLoveInch and InchRun For ItInch (featuring Sixpence None The Richer's Leigh Nash). And while the record too often settles for disposable, bland pop (InchTouchedInch and InchMagic,Inch for instance), it also delivers potent hooks and moments of inspiration that will keep the band's fan base happy.
