‘Tis the season of going back to 2009 for damage control, the realization of what has been overlooked in the past year, and one thing that shines, especially on this somber morning is The Archivist’s “The Keeper of the Library”, found thanks to Headphone Commute’s perceptive ears.

Moteer boss and The Boats/The Sea (with partner Andrew Hargreaves and the newest addition Danny Norbury) & The Remote Viewer main man, Craig Tattersall’s new alter ego The Archivist gathers his unreleased stuff for UK’s Lacie’s Records. I don’t know why they were left unreleased, because these are definitely prime time material. It all sounds like the good old times when electronica was meticulously handcrafted and not randomized, included bittersweet, inward looking melodies, the hum and hiss of glitchy samples and cinematic passages which brought back memories of achievements and failure. Essential no filler disc if you are into early Jan Jelinek, Napoli is not Nepal, Porn Sword Tobacco, Origamibiro, Xploding Plastix and of course Tattersall himself.
