Arcosphere / Moraine
Alaska

Snow-white vinyl. Arctic Music celebrates 16 years of with the new 2012 release Arcosphere / Moraine.
Just when you thought Alaska couldn’t top AM006’s Boreal / Isochime the programmer steps up another gear and unleashes Arcosphere / Moraine for the die-hard ambient-jungle lovers.
Arcosphere is simply ‘beautiful drum and bass’. Ambient pads and trademark funky breaks gather pace and on the 1:50 mark the bass drops with guitar hooks that melt you instantly and you feel the warmth and identity of Arcosphere.
Layers of ambience and breaks unfold building the vibe up to a gorgeous breakdown at 4:45 demonstrating Alaska’s 16 years of experience to perfection. Close your eyes and let the sounds of Arcosphere take you away on a journey of bliss.
Moraine is ethereal Alaska back in the hot seat. Dreamy strings hook you from the word go and you would presume a calm ride was ahead, however Alaska is the master of raw breakbeats and a powerful harsh 1970’s funk break appears from nowhere destroying all in it’s path whilst letting the strings breath on their own to lead Moraine into an atmospheric crescendo.
Arctic Music is proud to be the only label releasing this style of drum and bass on vinyl, flying the union jack for ambient jungle the world over.
