(2021) VA – Complete Drive
Review: A truly staggering amount of quality music. All tracks taken from the Thesis Drive series which asks musicians to create a long-form composition that could serve as an accompaniment to a journey. What a wealth of incredible and original music that the Thesis Label has helped bring to light over the course of their existence. 23 long form compositions in this collection from the likes of William Ryan Fritch, Marcus Fischer, Hotel Neon, Drombeg, Matthew Collings, Kinbrae, High Plains, Garreth Brooke, M. Grig, Fiona Brice, Bruno Sanfilippo, Rutger Zuydervelt, Sontag Shogun, Stijn Hüwels, Light Sleeper, Julia Gjertsen, Mary Lattimore, Benoît Pioulard, r beny, The Gentleman Losers, Simeon Walker, Lee Yi, Pepo Galán & Elskavon. If you’re into sublime modern composition, low-key electroacoustic, and the output of labels like Longform Editions this is essential!
