Vector Lovers
Capsule For One (Special Edition)
Beautiful seductive modern electronix alert!!! Vector Lovers has remained a firm favourite of the underground electronic music scene and holds a coveted place among the most hallowed of record shelves, and with good
reason. Since the early 2000s Martin Wheeler has explored a sparse audio wasteland in order to
develop a new sonic palette that looks outward to electro, IDM and ambient.
After self-releasing a handful of his own productions on the Iwari label, Wheeler's career defining
album was signed by British label Soma in 2005, leading to the first great revival of 90s IDM.
Capsule for One' was an unrivalled masterpiece that perfectly synthesised the heritage of the
Hardcore Continuum with renewed airs and degree of clarity that ushered in a new millennia and
sound. It arrived as a worthy successor to the venerated Warp artists of the time, while embracing
new panoramas and technologies.
Capsule for One' is a melancholic album, with an almost cosmic spirituality that provokes
daydreaming. From its opening track 'City Lights From a Train' it welcomes the listener onto an
infinite journey at the speed of light, connecting the past, present and future, folding time and
space and painting neon cities populated by cyborgs. The album reaches its zenith with 'Melodies
and Memory', featuring Wheeler's very own voice, which has arguably become one of this
century's greatest electronic ballads to date. In fact, the impact of 'Capsule for One' was such that
Tracey Thorn commissioned him to produce her song 'Easy', from the album 'Out of the Woods'
[Virgin, 2007].
For its forthcoming release on Lapsus Records, Martin Wheeler has remixed each and every song
on 'Capsule for One', as well as adding two previously unreleased tracks 'A Simulation' and
'Perfect Score', both produced around the same epoch. This extra special release, with artwork
redesigned by Josep Basora, features a double marbled vinyl and a limited edition insert print. TIP!!
