Dear VIP's, we're in the middle of a typical rainy summer in Belgium and we have some exciting Ionic Vision news for you.
* To start with, after 16 years it seems we are finally reaching a point where we get that deserved recognition (maybe due to the album title, who knows). Ionic Vision managed to climb into the DAC, probably the most important chart list in Europe. Without the aid of any external promotional source we did manage to climb to position number 7 this week. We are proud of that achievement, to say the least.
For this we send a lot of gratitude to all who made this possible, you know who you are there. So, hey, grab a beer and cheers, and when we meet next time, we'll have some more beers, ok?! For more info: http://www.trendcharts.de/de/deutsche_alternative_charts.html?start=21
* Secondly, the Isolated Sessions keep on expanding! We have no less than 7 exclusive releases to announce here, of which 5 are coming from the Isolated Sessions. The first one can be found here: http://www.dsbp.cx/index.php?page=ionic.html
Yes, VIP's, the US version of Bitter Isolation (ION012) is out now. Take care as it is being printed in limited quantities only, just to keep it even more exclusive. As you can see, the artwork totaly differs as well as most of the remixes. Other differences are that on the regular european version (ION011) the songs often cross fade into each other, where the us version (ION012) has all songs separated. There is no reason to doubt, this is another extreme limited Ionic Vision gemm, which soon will reach the same status as Rage Against The Acoustic (ION002).
On the topic of Rage against the acoustic (ION002), Machineries Of Joy, in collaboration with iTunes, releases no less than 6 special download packages! It is a feast for those who where searching for our back catalogue and for those who care for some extra specialties. We have a digital re-release of Rage against the acoustic (DION002) and a complete new release called Heresy (DION001), holding all remixes from ION001 and ION003, and more. Next to that we have the Sweet Isolation EP (DION010) and the Club Isolation (DION010X). And as cherry on top of the cake we also offer a new release, the David Carretta Isolation (DION010XL). Finally, you can get our hands on the Bitter Isolation download set (DION011) as well.
As we always tend to take good care of our fans and buyers we want you to know that all of these releases come with exclusive tracks, mixes and artwork. Check it out!
* Last but not least, you know that you rarely come across interviews or moving material from Ionic Vision. So our close friend Oliver Chesler (The Horrorist) grabbed us by the neck last week when we played in Berlin - Club Maria (Which was a very nice place where we met very very nice people, we pray we can go back soon) and asked us some questions. The result can be found on our myspace site. www.myspace.com/ionicvision
Enjoy the holiday season and keep on raging against the acoustic We'll be soon be back with more on the isolated sessions
