Suvmi is the full lenght album of Spies under Von Magnet influence: Holeg's hybrid electronica project Spies meeting the famous founder/inventor of the electro-flamenco VON Magnet for an eclectic journey through musical genres. From wide electronica, ambient, indie-rock, world music to neo-classical, contemporary music and other sonic influences, Spies under Von Magnet influence stands for a new path in music fusion. Once more, Holeg's cinematic touch has turned this album to a pure soundtrack of an imaginary movie and leads the listener to a wide spectrum of emotions breaking down the musical boundaries.
With 63 tracks and a total running time of just under four hours, Dust On The Nettles examines the metamorphosis that British folk underwent during the late 1960s, when the influence of psychedelia and the counterculture saw the idiom being twisted into all kinds of new and exotic shapes, as the finger-in-the-ear folk clubs of yore were inexorably drawn into a brave new world of Arts Labs, free festivals and the nascent college/university circuit.
Follow-up volumes appeared in 1993 and 1996, extending the time period to 1979 and with additional songs from the 1972-76 period, available on cassette or CD (ALL 25 volumes were issued in both formats). Each volume has twelve songs. Despite the greater capacity of compact discs, the running time of each of the volumes is no longer than the limit of vinyl records in the 1970s, from 38 to 45 minutes long.
