Artemiev, Edward
Stalker/the Mirror (re-issue Of Re-recordings)
Originally released in The Netherlands in 1990 on a long out of print - and now $150+ on eBay - 2LP, Mirumir is pleased to present this collection of classic Artemiev film scores as two separate and single 180 gram LPs in what are, in our humble opinion, far more beautiful and breathtaking covers with better sound quality than the original. Recorded in Moscow in 1989-90, these are re-recordings of Artemiev's soundtracks to three classic 1970s Tarkovsky films. At the time of its release in 1990, there were no legitimately available versions of the original soundtracks and Artemiev chose to fill that void in the market with these re-recordings. With these two LPs and the recent reissue of the Solaris soundtrack MIR100705, and the forthcoming Mirror/Stalker original remastered soundtrack, all officially licensed from the artist himself, Mirumir is now home to the definitive collection of electronic pioneer Artemiev's most heralded work.
