The last Polytechnic Youth release for the foreseeable future (not a final closure point, more a case of let's see...) is an absolute beauty. A 6 trackk 10" mini-LP from Shibuya Station, an all-analogue synth project founded by Marc Schaffer (aka solitude fx, Endphase, Twins Natalia, as well as being the founder of the Anna Logue Records and Nadanna labels). Finding his inspiration in the late '70s/early '80s synth music and the machines of that period, Marc recorded a few tracks back in 2013 which were further developed by fellow musicians Stefan Bornhorst (The Silicon Scientist), Dave Hewson (Poeme Electronique), Orpheo Weidelt (solitude fx), Kriistal Ann (Paradox Obscur) and Erik S�derberg (Kinder Aus Asbest) over the following years. Limited to 300 copies.
