Future Loop Foundation came to life with its debut album release in 1996, and two other albums have followed since, as well as an impressive run of remixes, soundtracks and live appearances.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.
The band are currently in the middle of preparing a brand new AV show and this will be premiered at the Sensoria Festival (http://www.sensoria.org.uk ) in Sheffield on the 15th April . A second show at the Roxy in Prague has also been confirmed for 29th April and this will be with the Jupiter String Quartet as per the performed at the Big Chill last year.After a stunning set from Future Loop Foundation at last year’s Big Chill festival, Just Music and Mark Barrott started discussing the obvious synergy between the philosophy of the label and the sound and style of Future Loop Foundation. Just Music are now thrilled to announce the release of The Fading Room: Memories and Remixes, 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.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. This EP, released on the 31st March features mixes from Rob Da Bank & Chris Coco & Pete Lawrence, plus The Beauty Room Remix of ‘Everything As It Should Be’.Future Loop Foundation
