handpicked from a motley stack of demos and promotional cds, gunter stoppel (aka dj scientist), the founder of equinox records, assembled a product that features 14 outstanding tracks by some of today's most cutting-edge artists and producers. spanning various genres and aesthetics, the compilation is as breathtaking in its breadth as it is in its execution. whether it be a folk-rock inspired breakbeat banger such as 2econd class citizen's 'wishing well' the forward-thinking electronic prog-rock tune 'times like this' by free the robots, the original post-instrumental hip-hop track 'tibetisches gutenachtlied' by aqua luminus iii., or the thrilling 'octobre' by electro/idm-wunderkind geste, the second volume of the series succeeds in representing the pioneering ethos equinox strives to uphold. likewise, arcsin's rock ballad 'scarlet fever' juxtaposed with the bitter-sweet lyrics of deadpan darling's pop song 'laugh track', emynd's inexorable electro tune 'identity through alterity' or the classical cinematic introduction by the famous 60s rock group the peddlers, the 'one year & a day' compilation covers a diverse range of styles and genres, illustrating the amalgam of sound equinox is known for, resulting in nothing if not one of the most distinct and forceful collections of songs within the past several years.
