disc 1 : threads originally released 2013
disc 4 : still originally released 2013

Threads and Still formed a trilogy of releases alongside Eavesdropping, all released in 2013 ahead of our last trip to the USA. The two are inextricably linked and emerged from the same productive sessions in 2012.

The original plan was to make one of the albums more upbeat than the other but the lines got blurred as they often do. Texturally there are some new developments across these six discs, the use of the EMS synthesizer and some Moog sequencing, alongside the newly acquired Roland V-Drums and the mighty Fender Rhodes which continued to hold its own before being put out to pasture (well, taken to Steve's place at any rate).

There are vastly expanded versions of the pieces on the issued albums, and in the case of discs 3 and 6 there are continuous takes which contain elements from both albums.

We hope this set helps make sense of it all and how the pieces were originally created, and that you enjoy the greatly expanded (and in some cases unique) pieces on offer.

radio massacre international's sound defies categorization it is more magical than musical. the music is, first and foremost, improvisational. it is loose in structure but also searching. r.m,i. is all about generating the happy accidents that occur at the ever-changing intersection of multiple moving bodies. when two sequences converge fascinating things happen opening rhythmic and textural options that just moments before were closed to view. it is the creation and exploration of those options that dominates what r.m,i. does in its music.
