FOR ALL THAT IS FREE /
N?I KABÁT REMIX

Closing up what was quite a busy year for SOFT RIOT, here’s a holiday offering: a free download of “Seeds of Time (Soft Riot’s Shatter Version)” by Női Kabat! This track was originally released on their now sold out cassette single “I Corrode/Seeds of Time”. Some of these tracks may likely appear on a more official release next year.

Throughout 2012 there have been Soft Riot “versions” of tracks for various friends and artists including Window Twins, Lebanon Hanover, Babe Rainbow and more. All of these tracks are all still available as free downloads.

Thanks for your support in the year 2012. There will possibly be one final “captain’s log” for 2012 to ring in the new year of 2013.

THE HOLY INTRUDER + A TERRIBLE SPLENDOUR

A new compilation is coming out soon on the label Aural Sects featuring a sizable roster of dark electronic artists doing their own interpretations of tracks from video games old and new. Soft Riot has done a version of “The Holy Intruder”, an incidental piece from the 1993 Super Nintendo/Squaresoft video game The Secret of Mana. More information on this release is to come later this month but in the meantime you can listen to the track via the Soft Riot SoundCloud here.


Filming and video editing skills have also been supplied to friends in the group A Terrible Splendour for their promo video for the track “Victimless Crime”, which can be viewed here:

That is all for now…

A lot studio work going on this month. A remix for Babe Rainbow (Warp Records) has been completed and should be public sometime soon. Another re-working of a track has been done; this time in the field of video game soundtracks, and a classic one at that. Just finishing up is a re-w0rking of incidental music by Hiroki Kikuta from the classic Squaresoft RPG game The Secret of Mana – a track called “The Holy Intruder” – will be released this spring on an upcoming compilation on the Aural Sects label. Again more information on that to come but here’s the original “loop” of the music at the bottom of this announcement.

Finally, the “Another Drone In Your Head” EP is about to be released. All of the remixes from the artists are now in and previews and places to purchase will be announced here soon.
