Fractured Recordings: "Recovery" offers breathtaking Vinyl Charm

Fractured Recordings are just days away from making an impressive start. Specialising in “one-off editions and artists’ projects”, the label’s first release “Recovery” will bring together a who’s who of the experimental scene for twenty cover versions. Housed in an amazing box set comprising of ten 7’’ Vinyl discs, commissions were extended to the likes of Fennesz, Ryoji Ikeda, alva noto and Matmos, with absolute freedom to select a song. The only condition to the project was that the tune was of personal importance to them. The results are as eclectic as they are suprising. Ikeda went for a rendition of AC/DC’s “Back in Black”, Barbara Morgenstern recorded her take on “Temptation” (originally by New Order), while Robert Lippok teamed up with Leeds-born singer and current Mancunian Caroline Thorpe for what surely will amount to an insightful rendition of Wham’s smash hit “Freedom”. With only 500 copies available, “Recovery” looks like it might be sold out from Fractured Recordings before actually becoming available officially from mailorders and stores.
