DJ Saint-Hubert I just want to say thank you for having the artist names in the track titles instead of tagged under 'Artist', because other labels do that so much with compilations and it causes the tracks to be listed out of order, just so much more convenient to be able to hear the track order as intended without rearranging everything by hand

Cool Science This fantastic compilation made me time travel instantly from the first tracks. Was really hard to choose a favorite but ReKaB´s The Second Time its Slowing me Down wins for its apparent simpliciy and beautiful synth melodies. Shout out to iNFO, K-Schreiber, Darren Nye and Virgo. The opening is so strong. Favorite track: ReKaB - The Second Time Its Slowing Me Down.

AND/OR/NOT(DannyG) THANK YOU INFO! Favorite track: iNFO - Form 1.

AndyMio Wonderful artists on a great label - united on a gorgeous compilation! What else can I say except... Thank you! :) Favorite track: Junya Nakano - Floating City.

danamj Love the double CD! This one went beyond expectations and every track's a classic 🩷 Keeping this in constant rotation. Favorite track: Spin Fidelity - Day Walking (route2).

Syntonic Worth it just for the opening track. Beautiful CD packaging too. Favorite track: iNFO - Form 1.

A 2-CD set. Comes in a CD case in the style of a 2-CD vinyl set. It's a pressed CD, not a CDr. The finish is incredibly beautiful.
It was very expensive to produce, but we set it at a special price because we want as many people as possible to listen to it.

about

The latest in the popular FORM@ RECORDS compilation series. Nearly 27 years after the release of "Art Form 2" in 1998, the third installment, "Art Form 3", has finally been released.

This time, the artists were mainly from Japan and the UK, and the participating artists were decided in the form of an introduction of each artist. Initially, the album was planned to be about 10 tracks in total, with one track per artist, but as the number of participating artists increased and all the tracks were great, it became a 2-CD set with 20 tracks. The lineup is very wide, including Detroit-style track, electro, ambient, dub, etc., not limited to IDM and electronica.

This is the first compilation of FORM@ RECORDS, which resumed in earnest in 2024. Many of the artists are familiar to you, but there are also some you may be listening to for the first time. If you like this compilation, please listen to what FORM@ RECORDS has already released. We also hope that you will be interested in other releases by each of the participating artists.

We hope that this compilation will further increase awareness of FORM@ RECORDS.

iNFO:
Influenced by early IDM, electro and Detroit techno, this project is by Michael Robinson, who continues to release original electronic music. He participated in two tracks, including the opening track of the compilation. He is also an influencer who constantly posts on social media and has a great influence on his followers.

k_schreiber:
This is a project by Rupi Panesar, who is active in the underground scene based in London. Although he is not very prolific, he produces high quality music. This time, I participated in two electro-style tracks. I think this is the first physical release under this name.
kschreiber.bandcamp.com/music

Darren Nye:
Daren Nye released an EP and an album from FORM@ RECORDS in 2024. His characteristic detailed use of sound is well displayed in these tracks. He has been releasing many works continuously from his own label, SpaceTime.
spacetime.bandcamp.com/music

Virgo:
Yasutaka Sato's project. He first appeared with "Art Form 1" in 1997, and released two albums in the 1990s, including "Landform Code," which later became a major hit. He returned with his third album on FORM@ RECORDS in 2024, and has since released a rapid succession of albums on a number of labels.

Circle Limit:
This project is by Takaya Kitahata, who also participated as the opening artist of "Art Form 2." In addition to the songs he has created up until now, this compilation includes three tracks, including one that was written specifically for this compilation.

Fragmented Soul:
Fragmented Soul released an album from FORM@ RECORDS in 2024. He participated in two tracks that were written around the same time as the album. The Detroit-style songs are particularly distinctive.
fragmentedsoul.bandcamp.com/music

Junya Nakano:
A popular Japanese game music creator who has worked on many songs for KONAMI, SQUARE ENIX, etc., he is not a techno specialist, but this time he wrote a special piece for this compilation.

Spin Fidelity:
Spin Fidelity released an album from FORM@ RECORDS in 2024. He also runs a label called Magnonic Signals. Two tracks written around the same time as the album are included.

Kraken:
Unidentified artist.

The Elusive Man:
Another artist name for Darren Nye. His wide range of musical talent is apparent.

ReKaB:
This is a project by James Baker, who has been releasing music on various labels since around 2020. He decided to participate in the compilation after being introduced by Michael Robinson. The mid-tempo music has a very refined sound.
soundcloud.com/we-shape-space

Missing Project:
This project is by Yuji TECHNOuchi, a creator who has been making Japanese game music since the 1990s, releasing music on famous labels such as R&S, and remixing other artists. He first appeared on FORM@ RECORDS with "Art Form 2," and his own remix of "Poisson D'Avril -Galaxy Dub-" on "Re-Form Ver-1.0" attracted attention and was included on Music From Memory's "Virtual Dreams II."

Gilbert:
Tom Gilbert's project has been gradually gaining attention since around 2020 and has been steadily releasing new music. Like ReKaB, he was introduced to us by Michael Robinson.

MS504:
Unidentified artist.
