Ulver - Perdition City

Perdition City continued the experimentation started by Ulver on Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven & Hell (1998), containing elements of trip hop, ambient, spoken word, jazz and electronica. But the album showed the band retreating further, into isolation, a sort of turn of the millennium angstiness, observations of haunting nocturnal (noir) beauty and urban decay.

It was described on its release as moody, atmospheric electronica, cinematic in scope and evoking a soundtrack for an imaginary film.

We decided to give this classic the full 'audiophile' treatment, a new hi-end analogue mastering specifically for vinyl (courtesy of Jaime Gomez/Orgone Studios, London), 180 gram 2XLP and with the previously never-on-vinyl hors d'ouvre EP Metamorphosis from 1999 on side D.

Pulled from the warehouse, we are offering some imperfect colored copies a.k.a. colored transition copies that were not sold back in the day. Clear vinyl may show light or heavy stains of white on one or both discs. These were part of the 'limited 100 copies pressing'.
