Freshly recut and remastered in 2026 by the one and only POLE @ ~scape mastering from the 1/4" analog tapes originally mastered by the talented fellas at Alchemy Mastering in London; only enhancing and enriching every finite detail with extra bass pressure! Nearly 6 years in the making, this new 12" marks the return of echospace's critically acclaimed Intrusion project. The first incarnation of "A Gentle Embrace" came in the form of three extended reshapes from cv313 & variant and now we're proud to offer the original work on beautiful crystal clear 160 gram wax. This new release was engineered and mixed down from 1/4" analog tape and mastered by bazza (Abbey Road Studios, Radiohead.) at Alchemy, London. We'll let the music do the rest of the talking, from our heart to yours...

Some feedback:

"Stephen Hitchell, one half of Motor City dub-techno operators Echospace, revives his Intrusion alias in 2015 for new album project A Gentle Embrace. That title speaks volumes, quietly. This is techno-music stripped back to its bare bones, its raw elements. The A side (Original) is filled with wave-upon-wave of gaseous atmospheres being tickled by a twitching, propulsive Wolfgang Voight percussion. Flip-side, Hitchell brings the Kick. But only just, before it disappears into the wormhole. Pressed loud on crystal clear 160g wax. Engineered and mixed down from 1/4" analogue tape and mastered by Bazza (Abbey Road Studios, Thom Yorke / Radiohead)... more
