MILLIGRAM RETREAT - Falun Gong LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition of 239 copies on blue colour vinyl. Out-of-print.

Packed in a transparent pouche, sealed with a folded printed card.

Highly recommended.

A terrific album. Catchy, interesting, and experimental at the same time, which is rare. Another difficult thing Milligram Retreat does is combine classic minimal synth sounds with old guard industrial and then updating it without sounding like they are trying too hard.

Milligram Retreat from Holland is a collaboration between electronic music producer Maurice Hermes and visual / performance artist Renée van Trier. They first appeared on the Kamp Holland compilation (Enfant17).  Falun Gong is their official debut album.

While working in the tradition of 1980’s electro pioneers and proto new wave acts Milligram Retreat are a product of this day and age. There are hints of Ende Shneafliet and Doxa Sinistra and some Berlin 80’s touches are also evident.
