Gems From The Equinox

A year later from the last collection, we are finally ready to reveal the new “Nocturnal” and “Solar” edition of the well loved “Steyoyoke Gems” concept. Divided in two parts, “Steyoyoke Gems” brings productions that made this label the unique treasure it is today. With memorable tracks that embodies our signature sound Ethereal Techno, from both old and new members of the label, you are sure to get hypnotized. The Solar edition features Steyoyoke artists like Soul Button, JOBE, Nick Devon, Alberth, Kris Davis, Mashk and many more. Steyoyoke Gems offers nothing less but quality, intellectual Ethereal Techno tracks that promise to shake up the dance floor and leave you breathless.

Beyond Description (1973-1989) is a companion set to 2001's 12-disc box The Golden Road (1965-1973), which collected all of the Grateful Dead's albums for Warner Bros, adding bonus tracks to each album, along with a double-disc collection of early pre-Warner recordings called "Birth of the Dead" for good measure. Beyond Description picks up the story after the Dead started their own label with 1973's Wake of the Flood and runs all the way to 1989, when they released their last studio album, Built to Last. Like The Golden Road, each album here is enhanced with bonus tracks, running the gamut from as little as three (on Built to Last) to has many as 16 (a full-length bonus disc added to 1980's live acoustic Reckoning), but there's nothing quite as enticing as "Birth of the Dead." Indeed, "enticing" is not a word that's frequently associated with the albums in this collection.
