Reclaimed Acres by Coppice Halifax

Reclaimed Acres collects 8 out of print/rare Coppice Halifax recordings that appeared on various releases from the last three years. Coincidentally, all of these songs originated from the same post-Analog Botany series session work, even though their destinations were all quite different.

Velour and Swamp were given to the Outward Residence split CD-R with Axs at Other Heights, Belgium, with Velour II being an alternate version of Velour that ended up on a Spontaneous Rhythm compilation. Smoky, Sleepy, Gaseous and Blue were given to the Parallel Harbors split CD-R with Ohrwert, also at Other Heights, and VSS Acre was an alternate version of NCC Acre (from the Vapor Acre cassette, Wil Ru Recordings) that ended up as a digital-only bonus track for the cassette's second edition.

Reclaimed brings all of these pieces back together to form an undeniably consistent whole, which was ironically never envisioned as a full-length album at the time of these works' creation. An essential set of longform organic techno works that would appeal to anyone who enjoys the current arc of the Coppice Halifax sound, and a worthy expansion to releases like Vapor Acre, Milk & Quaaludes and the soon to be released Radians.
