From Merzbow to Matmos, Acid Mothers Temple to William Basinski, Important Records has released some of the most vital artists working in electronic, experimental and noise forms. Now they’re having a clear-up to raise funds for a new office and have made a bunch of unique test pressings available, as well as exciting bundles of CDs as rewards for pledging through their Kickstarter. Check out the list below as it has to be seen to be believed and ALL OFFERS WILL BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED. And to soundtrack your read, press play on this excerpt from IMPREC421, the ambient soundscape of Duane Pitre’s ‘Bayou Electric‘.
Supporters of Important Records,
Happy new year! Despite having released very few records last year, 2017 will be remembered as a pivotal year for us. Thanks to your support we will be moving our office from a small porch to our barn loft where we have the space we need to get organized and prepare to relaunch the label with a series of essential vinyl releases from Eliane Radigue, Eleh, David Burraston, Harry Bertoia, Caterina Barbieri, Weeed, Newaxeyes, Tod Dockstader, Alessandro Cortini, Deep Listening Band and much more.
After 7 months of focusing on the office instead of the label we’ve been left financially depleted. To assist in the financing of our ambitions upcoming schedule of releases we will be going even deeper into our vault and offering Eleh test pressings, a very special mailorder only LP, artifacts and pre-orders in the coming month.
Below you will find a complete list of available test pressings & out of print color vinyl.
ALL OFFERS WILL BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED.
Warebarn progress:
In September 2017 work began. The first step was emptying Imprec CD inventory into a 40′ storage container. Once the CD inventory was cleared out we were able to begin the structural work required to safely support an office in the loft.
Once the structural work was complete we ran a power service underground out to the barn, replaced all wet exterior wood and built new, wide stairs. At present we are building the actual office and hopefully we’ll have insulation, electrical work and drywall completed within a month. You can follow the progress via #imprecwarebarn on Istagram.
Thank you very much for your support of Imprec over the last 17 years. With the move to the new office and the incredible schedule of forthcoming releases we’re feeling rejuvenated and optimistic about the months and years ahead.
Thank you!
John & Maurice
