loopyl1968 I'm looking forward to seeing these guys in Hackney on Thursday 14.20.21 as I love their whole presence and great tunes! Already booked the day off! Woo hoo.....a lot if their songs resonate with me and the shitty relationships I've endured! 😆

Amber Dean Lots of great extra material from an amazing band gathered into one place. Favorite track: Attica.

flowinglower So stoked this came to fruition. Linea Aspera was one of the best Minimal Synth artists of the 2010 decade. That single self-titled album still on heavy rotation after a decade. Being a late comer, I used Discogs to discover a plethora of b-sides, and fell in love with Attica. Slightly bummed that the Eviction remix for the USA Tour that never was didn’t make it on the LP. Favorite track: Attica.

Sentient Helicopters This album makes me fire up my tiny little bedroom studio every day after work and collecting the kids from school.

about

Dark Entries celebrated our 10 year anniversary in 2019 with ‘Preservation Bias’, a compilation of lost songs and rarities from Linea Aspera. The group formed in London in November 2011 by Ryan Ambridge (Synths/Programming) and Alison Lewis (Vocals/Synths). Within the duo, Alison writes and performs all vocal elements, while Ryan is responsible for producing, recording and mixing the electronics. We released their debut self titled album in June 2012 that was followed by a posthumous vinyl reissue of their tour cassette “II” on Weyrd Son Records in 2013. For all recordings Ryan utilizes an analog synthesizer set up: Roland SH-09, Roland Juno 6, Vermona DRM MKiii, Korg Poly 800 and Analogue Solutions Semblance. Linea Aspera's sound includes clear influences from 1980s electronic body music, synth-pop, industrial and noise. Lyrically the band incorporates the sciences of osteology, neuroscience, and anthropology weaving a new medical language around themes of desire, despair and renewal. Linea Aspera is the muscle attachment on the back of the femur and translates to 'rough line' in Latin. ‘Preservation Bias’ features all three songs from the limited ‘II’ tour cassette EP, four songs from the 2012 self-titled limited cassette EP and one song from the Desire Records 2013 compilation ‘And You Will Find Them In The Basement’. All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP is housed in jacket designed by Niall Greaves and includes a double-sided insert with lyrics.
