Boris Blank Announces New Box Set 'Electrified'

Boris Blank, the legendary electronic composer and founder of YELLO, has announced that his new solo box-set collection titled 'Electrified', is finally finished. 

'Electrified' is a collection of 58 unreleased soundtracks presented across four formats. In the analog domain, there are 3 vinyl LPs (180gm) and one metal-reel audio cassette. For those who prefer CD, the mini-box contains the 3 vinyl LPs as a double CD. Twelve films and animations are included on the DVD.

Three albums, four formats and five decades of work, assembled into one beautifully packaged box-set, featuring unreleased soundtrack material from the 70s to the present day.

Electrified contains the songs, remixes and extended versions from the Avant Garden soundtrack series. There are new pieces written this year plus 'Rote Fabrik', a rare album from the 1977-83 archive and a fascinating insight into the building blocks of Solid Pleasure and Claro Que Si. Finally, there's a 36-page booklet of personal Boris Blank photographs, biography and comments.

The box-set is expected to be released on August 18th 2014 through Blank's new imprint BLANK MEDIA. For more details visit Kickstarter.
