- Fundamental Records will put out the 11-track album next month.
Madrid's Fundamental Records is preparing an album from Rhys Celeste, the late Maltese producer also known as Microlith.
Celeste died in a quad bike accident in February at age 24. The electro and IDM artist had sent Fundamental Records dozens of untitled tracks, and label boss Alek Stark says they arranged a tracklist for an album just days before the fatal accident. Stark received permission from Celeste's brother Aidan to push forward and release the LP, which is called Microlith and credited to the producer's given name.
There will be two physical editions, each augmented by a 7-inch record: a "Classic FR" version on two slabs of white 12-inch vinyl in a clear plexiglass sleeve, packed with a T-shirt, and an "Acid" version with two yellow 12-inch plates in transparent green plexiglass. It follows a posthumous Microlith EP, Subtle Variance, that came out last month on Central Processing Unit.
"Today I still have that special sensation that you can feel in all tracks composed by Rhys," says Stark. "Something nostalgic with big doses of happiness and hope in every note."
