about

Live albums have always been a big feature of the DiN imprints output with many of its releases featuring performances by label boss Boddy either solo or in conjunction with other artists. Seven such albums have been as the duo ARC with Boddy alongside his friend and musical collaborator Mark Shreeve who sadly passed away in 2022. Their show at E-Live in The Netherlands from 2007 was the only concert of theirs so far unreleased and hence Chronicle (DiN89) is both here to fill that gap and to provide a reminder of the power this duo could create in a live setting.

This concert was unusual in that ARC used it as a chance to showcase their recently released album Fracture (DiN28) and indeed the duo constructed their set around the five tracks from that album, interlinked by short ambient passages. Underpinning the rhythmic elements of each piece is the huge Moog modular utilised by Mark over the years to such sensational effect, not only in the ARC project but his band Redshift. In creating that Berlin School sound this system is the real deal and under his skilled sequencing the pieces have an organic life that breathe and can grow from a tiny staccato rhythm to a huge growl in seconds. Over this structure Boddy and Shreeve layer atmospheric effects, warm chordal motifs and blistering solo lines. The concert culminates in the sensational 22 minute epic track Rapture which begins with spacey, drifting atmospheres before chordal Mellotrons add a sense of the grandiose. This just lulls the audience into a sense of calm before those sequencers thunder in to produce a truly hypnotic and incredible sonic climax.

Chronicle is a testament to the music of ARC but more particularly in remembering Mark Shreeve who left us all way too early.

Dedicated to Mark Shreeve (June 2nd 1957 - August 31st 2022)

ARC played eight concerts between 1998 & 2017 and up till now seven of these have been released on the DiN label. Mark left us way too soon in 2022 and I have so many happy memories of the music we did together. I have two in particular from this trip. Firstly we had an incredible reaction from the audience after we played Mark’s track System Six as the encore (included on the 25 Years of DiN album) that the gig organiser Ron Boots said “you must play more” - Mark & I looked at each other behind stage and shrugged our shoulders, we had nothing else prepared - to which Ron replied “play that again”, which we did to even more applause. Then secondly as Mark drove the van around the M25 with our gear onboard we realised that the vehicle was speed limited and so we had to drive all the way to Eindhoven at a top rate of 55mph - rock n roll!

So here we have Chronicle (DiN89) the final ARC concert to be released. I hope you enjoy the music as much as we had fun playing it.

DiN Sunderland, UK

The DiN ambient label was set up by Ian Boddy in 1999 to release ambient electronica that bridged the gap between the analogue sound of the early 70's synth pioneers and the digital soundscapes of the more experimental modern exponents of electronic music. ... more

honestly this album takes quite a bit of time and many listening rounds to actually "get into". No doubt it is technically excellent, with more advanced composition elements than earlier records, however it isn't that easily accessible either. Perhaps this is actually a strength as each time you will listen to there will be more details to discover. Martin R
