Va – Re-Form Ver-1.0 [2LP]

WRWTFWW Records presents their fifth archival release taken from cult Tokyo label Form@ Records’ catalogue, this time with the first-ever vinyl edition of Re-Form Ver-1.0. The remarkable, yet not widely known, 1999 remix compilation is now available as a limited edition 45rpm cut double LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve. Originally only available on CD in extremely limited quantities, Re-Form Ver-1.0 resurfaces as a fascinating document of Form@ Records’ late-1990s creative peak. Re-imagining key pieces from the label’s catalogue, the remix collection offers a rare glimpse into Tokyo’s electronic underground, where techno, house, ambient, and IDM breathe freely through Form@’s soulful and exploratory vision. Throughout, the compilation balances dancefloor sensibility with introspective listening, embodying the warm human approach to machine music the label excels in. Another essential time capsule from a crucial era of underground music, Re-Form Ver-1.0 echoes the spirit of Warp’s Artificial Intelligence era, alongside the forward-thinking energy of Ken Ishii, Carl Craig, The Black Dog, and Ian O’Brien, while keeping its feet and individuality firmly rooted in local context — the magic recipe for creating a universal, timeless language of electronic expression. Featuring Missing Project, Virgo, Tensor, Penance, and Led-M.
