Autobiography

Where sea, desert and myths merge into one; Here lies Lumeria.
When the suns melt and the sky burns; Here lies Lumeria.

1. Golden Shores in the Mist
2. The Carnelian Congregation
3. In the Valley of Lost Dreams
4. Triple Suns
5. Over the Mountains of Sorrow
6. Land of Eternal Wisdom
7. The City of a Thousand Suns
8. From the Lights
9. As They Follow the Gilded Path

We're back with our first album release: 'Memories of Lumeria' by our label-head Foreign Material, a 9-stages epic journey that will bring you to a hidden and long forgotten mythical place.

Navigating between techno and ambient, Foreign Material delivers one more time in his first album his own sound signature with these 9 tracks mixing strong percussions, mystical leads, psychedelic sounds and eerie atmospheres.

Memories of Lumeria [NORCD03]

At the edge of the world,
In the depths of the earth, 
They dwell. 
Long forgotten, long gone.

Ancient lords and kings,
They sleep and dream,
In the dark.
Long forgotten, long gone.

Past glories on rusted crowns,
Broken scepters, eroded tombs,
Without names.
Long forgotten, long gone.

In these barren caves solely,
A part of their fading memory,
Remains.
Long forgotten, long gone.

In Orpheus' realms they rest,
Observing the noble stars,
Waiting for better eons,
To come.

Dreams of the Fallen [ANN31]

Embark on a sonic odyssey with Foreign Material's latest release on Navigare Audio. Drawing inspiration from the all-encompassing influence of Saturnus, the god of time, transcendence and agriculture. Martins musical universe is both explorative and traditional, taking listeners on unexpected paths while maintaining an innocent and joyful sense of discovery. You can never really expect where he will take you with his new release, you get the sense that he’s carving out the path as he’s walking. On the B-side, we find none other than brother Toffe, the master of suspense - dubbing it out with a reshape of the title track "Saturnian Dub" in an homage to the deity of the golden age of abundance and peace.

Premiere: Foreign Material - Saturnian Dub

Ethereal inspirations are the name of today’s musical game as we look to Martin Respaut aka Foreign Material and his aptly titled, ‘Saturnian’ EP. Drawing inspiration from Saturnus, the god of time, transcendence and agriculture, Foreign Material has crafted a journey that moves seamlessly through the peaks and valleys of deep, hypnotic techno and beyond. On this EP, he’s also joined by Toffes Värld who provides a re-imagination of Saturnian Dub.

Above Abysmal Rivers is the last but certainly not least track of the Saturnian EP. Coming in as the digital bonus, Foreign Material slows things down to a rhythmic 98 bpm, providing that chuggy low slung vibe that is all over our Delayed HQ. Nicely textured synths add to the movement, fending off the repetitiveness, while a glittering melody builds and our favorite melancholic pads round out the atmosphere.

Foreign Material’s Saturnian EP will be released on the Navigare Audio imprint, March 29th.
