OIL 10 is one of the most famous projects in the mix-genre of Cinematic Ambient and Dancefloor, and - in addition to that - one of the most important bands on the Funkwelten label. Both of the last two albums "Arena" and "Beyond" are essential parts of every well-assorted Electronica CD-collection. For more than a decade this project has been producing individual and wonderful sound collages. 10 years of OIL 10 - reason enough for us to have a retrospective on all these great sounds.
His approach can be explained by the diversity of his influences: LFO, Pan sonic, FSOL, Autechre, Dead Can Dance, essential first albums of Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream, the 80s electro pop scene ( OMD, Freur, Fad Gadget, Ultravox, Depeche Mode...) and recent electronic wave ( Fisherspooner, IAMX, Vitalic, The Hacker, Ladytron and so on).
"Retrofuture" contains some of the most interesting tracks of all previous releases including the album "In/Out", which was already sold out a long time ago. But Gilles Rossire aka OIL 10 has not only compiled just an ordinary Best-Of. All tracks were remastered and remixed and two new tracks were added - "Retrofuture" comes up like a completely new and independent album. So just be enchanted by pulsating sounds and get into the world of intelligent electronic music - be part of OIL 10's fascinating vision.
