Juan Atkins & Moritz von Oswald Present Borderland – Transport (2026 Repress) (Vinyl)
10 year anniversary reissue of Juan Atkins & Moritz von Oswald's 2016's collaboration, Transport. The album follows a quasi-narrative structure, with the somewhat foreboding title track serving as a kind of launch pad for the album’s subsequent travels. The prognosis becomes sunnier from the second track onwards, culminating in ‘Riod’ – an exquisite piece of music, fully deserving of its separate release as an EP, whose melodic riff sounds so organic, so right, that it seems as though it has always been there, reverberating in a quiet harmony with our entire being.
The influence of jazz and dub is synonymous with Atkins’ and von Oswald’s output, and is present throughout the album, but here it is brought within orbit by taut, wandering basslines and brilliantly defined drums.
If the first Borderland release, with its sinister harmonic expeditions, represented the sublime, perpetually teetering on the edge of the unknowable, then Transport, in its glowing wholeness, is the epitome of the beautiful.
The fifth track, ‘Merkur’, also deserves special mention. In an album governed by subtlety, its swung bass and the rests, which are so loaded with anticipation, provide a critical moment for the direct outpouring of energy and joy. All in all, Transport embodies a seasoned electronica classicism, with all the connotations of timelessness that that entails. Quietus

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
