My album Oceanic is now available on vinyl on Juno Records and HHV, in addition to the Stasis Recordings Bandcamp!

Was very happy to see this write-up on Juno.
A copy of Oceanic by Mellonius One on vinyl. Screenshot of the Juno Records site: "Review: Canadian producer Mellonius One braves full-length, leviathan waters with Oceanic, his debut LP for Stasis Recordings. Textural, piano-motored downtempo meet cinematic breakbeat leanings, as the man personally known as Daniel Ruten weaves eight ebb-and-flowing tunes that move like hydrophonic measures, from the slow-motion drift of 'Pathways (Part I)' to the luminous pulse of 'End Of Land'. Trip-hop, ambient techno and IDM traditions keep a mum mood, as well-brushed, readymade samples build with a soft, analogue intensity. A generously concentric new LP for the wide-reaching imprint."

Still wondering how/why this fake Canadian Mountie video game shown for two seconds in an episode of New Girl came to be.

Wildest 'L' in the history of manuscripts?
Male and female bathers exchange glances in a historiated letter L, the bottom of which forms a dragon like creature with a long neck and the head of a bearded man wearing a red hood at the end of it. (Originally from Li livres dou santé by Aldobrandino da Siena)
