after recent successes on his other label, donnacha costello returns to his look long imprint with the storming one sided monster that is ten thousand hours. to begin, an ominous, growling, analog siren calls out from costellos roland sh-101, alerting us that our presence is required on the dancefloor before rattling, shuffling hi-hats mark out the groove and we head out on an ecstatic 7 minute analogue journey through a universe inhabited by wispy shadows of s-express, 808 state, mathew jonson and costellos own classic colorseries sound. words dont do justice to this one. simply drop the needle on the record and escape to an alternate universe on a magic carpet of analog synths and drum machines. ten thousand hours appears as a very limited one sided vinyl edition and wont be re-pressed. dont sleep

as costello continues to look long, the grooves continue to flow. lng3 sees the reissue of the deep house classic pleite which originally appeared on trapez in 2003. recorded in dublin in 2002, this version has been mastered at dubplates and mastering, berlin in 2009. the results are stunning and serve as a welcome reminder of costelloÆs deep roots. pleite (costello dub) in particular could teach some of todayÆs hyperactive producers a thing or two about setting up a solid groove and letting it sit. the timing of this reissue could not be more perfect with regard to the current musical zeitgeist. the title, a german colloquialism for broke or indeed bankrupt which was an in-joke at the time of the original release, takes on a new significance in the context of global economic recession.

donnacha costello returns with another release for his new label and platform, look long. the tragedy of the commons sees him continuing his mission to create work of lasting quality and beauty. gatsby has that most rare and ephemeral quality, that certain something not easily defined. work which is at once both raw and full of subtlety. something which is at once both instantly familiar and yet inescapably new. fathoms deep pulls the listener in with each rotation until we are so thoroughly hypnotised we cannot but surrender to its insistent, organic pulse. baritoneÆs melancholy lo-fi guitars and roland 606 drums wrap around us like a warm blanket on a cold night. a private oasis, a moment of comfort in a lonely city before the body gives in to sleep. this is no throwaway music. this is music to keep, to live with, to grow with. this is music in which comfort can be sought and solace found

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks
