Just Music are proud to present
The Fading Room: Memories and Remixes by Future Loop Foundation - a beautiful album constructed from recordings of family interviews that have laid dormant in an attic somewhere in the north of England for almost a quarter of a century.

Blissed out electronica? The glorious return of one of Britain?s true electronic mavericks? personal yet universally evocative slice of dance music? an eddying exclamation of euphoria"

Mark Barrott has assembled a highly personal and organic album around these speech samples, using electronic and acoustic instruments as one to present an album that sparkles with originality and wit. It achieves an intriguing balance between conjuring up snapshots of a nostalgic past, whilst being wholly contemporary in musical vision.
This musical vision of The Fading Room, when performed live by Future Loop Foundation, is combined with live visuals performed and mixed by Myogenic which develops this "then" and "now" vision further with a bitter sweet look at the past and the present and the social and political implications for us all. This showstopping specatcle was showcased recently at groundbreaking live appearences at Sensoria Festival and The Roxy in Prague, where Future Loop Foundation played alongside the Jupiter string quartet.
This beautifully packaged release comes together with an accompanying album of remixes of key tracks by Rob Da Bank & Chris Coco, Tunng, Beauty Room, The Go! Team, Jon Kennedy and Padded Cell amongst others.
