A landmark release in early‑2000s downtempo and future‑jazz, Pacific Memories: The Early Tapes captures Fenomenon at their most atmospheric and melodic. Originally issued on CD in 2006, this collection brings together tracks from their influential Nuphonic EPs — including the cult singles Pacific Memories and Solara — alongside rare material recorded during the same period.
Their lush, soulful sound found its way onto major compilations such as The Sound of the Cosmos, Hed Kandi and MTV Summer Lounge, and even into Michael Bay’s sci‑fi film The Island. Now, for the first time, these early recordings are available on vinyl in a 20th anniversary edition, pressed on turquoise (LP1) and translucent yellow (LP2) 180‑gram audiophile vinyl, complete with insert.
A must‑have for fans of Jazzanova, The Cinematic Orchestra, Kinobe, Blue States and the golden era of downtempo electronica.
