"The immense range of music on offer on VA1+2 is its real strength... there’s a sense that every aspect of this release is about doing the music justice. And in turn, they do the charity and the listener justice." ~ Aural Aggravation (https://auralaggravation.com/2016/05/04/various-artists-va12/)

"... these artists and this label have donated their time and efforts to a worthy cause... Hats off to all involved." ~ A Closer Listen (https://acloserlisten.com/2016/04/29/various-artists-va12-tavern-eightieth)

"È un percorso lungo due ore, capace di catturare per il suo carattere eterogeneo e stimolante per la sua componente sperimentale." ~ SoWhat (https://sowhatmusica.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/various-artists-va12)

"Non mancano, dunque, gli spunti di interesse lungo le due ore di “VA1+2”, testimonianza insieme della perdurante funzione delle compilation e, soprattutto, dell’accuratezza della selezione che vi presieduto, tanto più se come in questo caso dotata dell’ulteriore elemento dell’esclusività." ~ Music Won't Save You (https://musicwontsaveyou.com/2016/08/06/va12)

A large compilation of diverse and exciting music from new and established artists, VA1+2 is chiefly intended to raise funds for the charity Alzheimer's Research UK. In doing so, it presents material selected from many different strains of contemporary electronic, ambient, experimental, electro-acoustic, improvisation, leftfield pop and beyond. Containing over two hours of music by twenty-two contributing artists, the compilation has been divided into two sections: VA1 and VA2. Each has been mixed in order to bring out its own overall style, resulting in a rich journey through powerful, intricate, playful and unusual material from numerous corners of modern music.

With an emphasis on clarity and dynamic range rather than loudness, VA1+2 was given a final master by Fraser McGowan (Caught in the Wake Forever).

It has been an immense pleasure working with the artists to put this release together over the last year. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks for supporting it in any way.
