"Time Frost" is an ambient record by Rapoon (aka Robin Storey, also of Reformed Faction, Old Castle, ex-Zoviet France), imagining the mutation process of sound locked in ice and transformed over millennia. Like ghosts of music trapped in the ever-changing permafrost.
"I imagined that tiny pieces of former cultures survived locked in the ice and waiting for future archaeologists to discover and interpret them. I used vinyl lock grooves of [Johann Strauss's] Blue Danube (from the 1968 MGM recording for the film soundtrack 2001) to form the starting points for the five compositions in Time Frost which were then manipulated and added to and re-arranged into new compositions" (Robin Storey).
The album was originally released in a series of publications from Glacial Movements. Virtually unavailable in any form for many years, over time it has become a hard-to-find rarity, sought after by fans of the British project. This reissue changes that state of affairs.
For this publication, the graphic design was changed, this time based on photographs by Robin Storey, who also remastered the material within. Ltd x 350 copies in a 6-panel digipak.
