{"product_id":"lamina","title":"Lamina","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis long-gestating box set of Scottish electronic pioneer Drew McDowall’s solo work takes its title from a technical term meaning ‘plate’ or ‘layer’ most often used in contexts either geological or anatomical: \u003ci\u003eLamina\u003c\/i\u003e. He speaks of the compiling process similarly: “Digging into my archives felt like a mix of psychoanalysis and archaeology – uncovering buried things.” The six CD collection includes expanded editions of his four most recent Dais LPs (\u003ci\u003eCollapse\u003c\/i\u003e, 2015; \u003ci\u003eUnnatural Channel\u003c\/i\u003e, 2017; \u003ci\u003eThe Third Helix\u003c\/i\u003e, 2018; and \u003ci\u003eAgalma\u003c\/i\u003e, 2020), alongside a disc of rarities (\u003ci\u003eUndulations and Aberrations\u003c\/i\u003e) and one of live performances (\u003ci\u003eEntanglement\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken together, it presents a definitive portrait of McDowall’s cryptic, questing artistry, forever seeking “that sense of stepping over a threshold.”  The bonus material in particular is revelatory, broadening both the context and complexity of its respective full-length. “Palisades,” a \u003ci\u003eCollapse\u003c\/i\u003e outtake, patiently builds a mantric throb into a rippling cascade of head-nodding cosmic noise, like some glowing shrapnel splintered off the rest of the record. “Tell Me The Name (Alt Version),” a reworking of the eerie opener of Unnatural Channel, embodies McDowall’s goal for the compilation as “a window into the process of iteration.” \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dais","offers":[{"title":"CDx6","offer_id":50485530722635,"sku":"2019560","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0031841823_10_184b7613_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727600616","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/lamina","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
