About this release: For its tenth release, Untitled & After issues a compilation of music that seeks solace in the outer reaches of electronic music. Akin to Kompakt's Pop Ambient series, Untitled 10 (The Black Album) pulls away from the structures of techno into more expansive terrain.
Collected from artists as diverse as Bizz Circuits and Morgan Packard, from locations as distant as Sapporo, Los Angeles and Berlin, Untitled 10 (The Black Album) is a meditation on the tension between force and fragility. An extension of the beat driven roots of Untitled & After, this compilation revels in the paranoid spaciousness of dub, the personal documents of field recordings and the otherworldliness of soft synthesis. Here, ambient is not a genre, but a timeless, spaceless moment. Untitled 10 (The Black Album) attempts the impossible by documenting something so fleeting.

Untitled & After is a digital music label run and curated by Marc Kate aka Silencefiction.U & A explores the vague terrain that is post-House, post-Techno and post-Minimal to discover what might be hiding around the corner.U & A exists in the tension between the focused precision of minimalism and the grand gestures of dense and deep programming and performing.U & A's sound is defined, not so much in terms of genre, but in terms of mood, texture, atmosphere and introspection.U & A explores the difference between tracks for the dancefloor and those for headphones. Headphone music can be epic. Dancefloor tracks can be cerebral. 
When U & A grows up, it wants to be the 4AD of techno.http://untitledandafter.com
