Popis - IN THE TWILIGHT THESE..:
"Founded in 2009 by THE OCEAN guitarist Robin Staps, PELAGIC RECORDS has become an increasingly vital outlet for modern progressive metal, post-metal and beyond", ROCK-A-ROLLA wrote last year in their PELAGIC RECORDS label feature, and German Prog magazine ECLIPSED added that PELAGIC has established itself as "one of the most influential labels" in the realm of post metal, post rock and prog. "Its been a slow, gradual growth process", Staps comments. "I never had career ambitions with this label, and sometimes this old-school DIY approach to things has really helped me focus on the essentials, and on maintaining a high standard of quality without being focused too much on success and numbers. I have also managed to not let the bad choices drag me down. It's not wrong per se to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them." To get 12.000 acrylic layers or 11 tons of raw material manufactured, silk-screen printed and assembled into vinyl boxsets with an individual weight of 6 kg seems like a pitiful mistake, but THE OCEAN's spectacular "Pelagial" boxset, the label's 30th release, turned out to be the biggest success in the label's 8 hear history, and put PELAGIC RECORDS right at the center of the map of extraordinary vinyl packaging. "If you want to give people a reason to continue buying music as a physical product in this digital age, you better give them a good reason", Staps comments. "And beautiful packaging and artwork are the best possible reasons". This compilation showcases the entire Pelagic Records roster, from well-established acts such as MONO, CULT OF LUNA or PG.LOST to newcomers such as HYENAS or New Zealand's SPOOK THE HORSES, who contribute an exclusive track to this release
