Mike Parker’s influential first album to get vinyl debut after 23 years
New version also features a clutch of contemporaneous extras
Mike Parker’s debut album Dispatches – only previously pressed on CD on Parker’s own Geophone label – is to get its debut on vinyl some 23 years on from its original release.
Described as “a blueprint for deep, hypnotic techno in the new millennium”, the album is being issued on six sides of vinyl and complete with the distinctive artwork, by Field Records. Expanding the album beyond its original CD form, it also includes tracks from around the time of the album dropping in 1991.
Parker has enjoyed a career that’s moved from early collaborations with Donato Dozzy to appearances on seminal labels such as Prologue, Semantica and Spazio Disponibile.
