Monolake - Gobi (The Long Edit 2020) (2020)

This is an extended and remastered edit of the seminal release from 1999, with 15 minutes of additional material from the original tape. The material for Gobi is based on extremely slowed down and granulated source material, mainly loops made from the 1997 Monolake album "Hongkong".

The most difficult decision was finding the right duration and mix of excerpts from that recording. In 1999 we ended up with a 36 minute edit. When listening to the original session tape again in April 2020, I decided to make a new and longer edit, since there is so much beauty in the material.

This version is mastered quite differently and it sounds much deeper and detailed than the version from 1999.
