Massive tribute to Rational Youth to be released on 3LP (+ 2CD) – time to order your copy (there are no digital copies)
Out in a few weeks – and available here – is the massive tribute album “Heresy – A Tribute to Rational Youth”. The release features 19 artists from 6 countries reinterpreting the legendary electronic group’s best loved songs across 3 vinyl records packaged in a double gatefold sleeve.
Contributors to Heresy include several familiar faces from the electronic music scene: Robert Enforsen (Elegant Machinery), Psyche, Parralox, Machinista or Technomancer Feat. Angst Pop. Two former members of Rational Youth, Kevin Komoda (Rekk) and Dave Rout (Datafreq/The Beautiful Spies) also are present rebooting the classic tracks.
Rational Youth also feature on “Heresy” with “This Side of the Border”, a track taken from their recent EP, “Future Past Tense”.
No digital download is available, and the full album will not appear on any streaming service – “Heresy” is being released as a physical product only. The limited edition package includes 2 LPs in heavy-grade 180gm vinyl, a 12” single (also in 180gm vinyl), and 2 CDs with all of the vinyl content. You can check the full track list right here.

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help.
