DiN Titles

Elemental by Ian Boddy
DiN 25 - 2006

Elemental shows a broad range of influences garnered from his DiN collaborations which have had a positive effect on Boddy's music and he has absorbed and distilled many of these to startling effect on "Elemental". Indeed this album shows off his chameleon like ability to constantly change and develop over what has now been a long musical career spanning over 25 years.
 

Lithosphere by Robert Rich & Ian Boddy
DiN 21 - 2005

Boddy & Rich combine forces for a second time to produce Lithosphere. Sonically it has a more earthy, organic quality to it's predecessor Outpost. Rich's signature lap steel guitar voicings are once again featured over-laying Boddy's delicate keyboard textures & sampled glass & stone percussion.
 

Arcturus by ARC
DiN 19 - 2005

Ian Boddy & Mark Shreeve in only their second concert outing performing at the Hampshire Jam III festival. A virtuoso set sees the duo combining classic Moog sequencing with ambient atmospherics and laptop loops to create an ever evolving mix of organic, live electronics.
 

Moiré by Boddy / Wöstheinrich
DiN 18 - 2005

An album that shows the true collaborative nature within DiN with Wöstheinrich combining musically with Boddy whilst his fellow partner in Centrozoon ( Blast - DiN 6 ), Markus Reuter helped to edit the duos original improvisations into a meaningful musical form.
 

Pure by Reuter / Boddy
DiN 17 - 2004

Pure is the 2nd studio collaboration between Boddy and Reuter. This time a different approach was taken with Reuter providing much of the sonic material in the form of looped and chopped up fragments of his beautiful touch guitar tones. The duo then shaped, arranged and mixed the album in the DiN studio to produce a truly breath-taking release.
 

Chiasmata by Ian Boddy
DiN 16 - 2004

The 10 tracks from this album are taken from a concert Boddy performed in the Planetarium of the National Space Centre, Leciester in 2003. The music is a mature fusion of spacy, ambient sections with chilled out sequenced/drum grooves. As such it show cases many of the influences that Boddy has absorbed since the formation of DiN.
 

Blaze by ARC
DiN 15 - 2003

The third ARC release sees Boddy & Shreeve joined by acoustic drummer Carl Brooker on half of the 8 tracks to give an added dimension to their heavily sequenced sound. Together with Shreeve's Redshift project ARC is providing a stable diet of analogue goodness to those fans craving the old style sequenced music of Tangerine Dream.
 

Aurora by Ian Boddy
DiN 12 - 2002

Boddy was so busy with DiN that it had been 3 years since Box of Secrets. Aurora however is a very different beast with a more textural approach and a real deep space feel to much of the music. By this release he was showing the full mastery of his sound design skills in combining analogue sequencing with cutting edge software synthesis.
 

Outpost by Robert Rich & Ian Boddy
DiN 11 - 2002

Robert Rich, one of the true ambient pioneers combines with Boddy on Outpost to produce an album with a mysterious blend of fluid electronic rhythms and impressionistic 50's sci-fi soundscapes. A truly original sounding album it remains the best seller on DiN to date.
 

Triptych by Ian Boddy, Markus Reuter & Nigel Mullaney
DiN 9 - 2001

Boddy, Reuter & Mullaney offer a seamless blend of improvisation & composition from their appearance at the E-Live 2000 festival in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. An amazing performance combining Boddy's ambient keybaords & analogue sequencing with Reuter's touch guitar & Mullaney's live beat manipulations.
 

Radio Sputnik by ARC
DiN 7 - 2000

This is a recording of the duos first concert performance from the 5th alfa-Centauri festival in Huizen, The Netherlands. A combination of live versions of 4 of the tracks off Octane with 4 new pieces.

Caged by Ian Boddy & Chris Carter
DiN 5 - 2000

Another unusual collaboration this time with ex-Throbbing Gristle man Chris Carter. A dark, unsettling album of strange grooves, distant mutated voices and ambient rumblings this 5th DiN release showed how Boddy was using DiN as a vehicle to forge partnerships with musicians right across the electronica landscape.
 

Autonomic by Dub Atomica
DiN 4 - 1999

This release under the name of Dub Atomica is probably the most overtly dance floor based release on DiN. However the drum loops of turntablist Nigel Mullaney have been mutated and filtered by Boddy to produce a series of minimalist, chilled out grooves over which plays ethereal vibes & tones.
 

Distant Rituals by Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter
DiN 2 - 1999

Boddy's first collaboration with German touch guitarist Markus Reuter. A fascinating album that combines Reuter's artistry with his loops & guitar tones with Boddy's growing mastery of the language of modern electronica styles. The duo have since collaborated on several more DiN projects.
 

Box of Secrets by Ian Boddy
DiN 1 - 1999

Boddy launched his DiN label with a trio of releases. Box of Secrets came as quite a surprise to many of his fans with an unusual mix of traditional synth motifs in combination with more modern drum loops and ambient textures. A bold and adventurous way to start the label !
 Space for Music Titles

Jodrell Bank Concert by Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter
sfmIB1053 - 2002

By the time of this concert DiN was in full flow and Boddy collaborated with German touch guitarist, and DiN artist Markus Reuter. An unusual mix of space music and ambient styles ensued and the music was released as a companion disc to Shrouded on the Space for Music label.
 

Shrouded by Ian Boddy
sfmIB1032 - 2000

Boddy's first Stateside concert was organised by Chuck van Zyl who runs The Gathering series of concerts in Philadelphia. Shrouded is taken from this performance and is one of Boddy's most laid back releases. Originally released as a MP3.com DAM CD it is now out on the Space for Music label.
 Something Else Records Titles

Octane by ARC
SER014 - 1998

ARC are Ian Boddy & Mark Shreeve. They had known each other since 1982 but it wasn't until Shreeve had gone back to his roots with the use of a giant Moog modular system and Boddy had been formualting a more ambient, improvised style since Continuum that the two decided to collaborate. The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 

Rare Elements by Ian Boddy
SER013 ( 2CD ) - 1997

This is a retrospective double album of rare compilation CD tracks, unreleased studio material and selected recordings from 3 concerts. In many ways it is a summation of Boddy's music from the previous decade before he moved on to the formation of his DiN label.
 

Phase 3 by Ian Boddy, Ron Boots & Harold v.d Heijden
SER012 - 1997

Taken from a concert performed in Eindhoven shortly after the New Year. Boddy provided most of the sequencing with Boots playing his characteristic melodic synth lines and v.d.Heijden playing an electronic drum kit. An extra track is provided from the trios rehearsal sessions.
Out of print.
 

Continuum by Ian Boddy
SER011 ( 2 CD ) - 1996

This 2CD set is edited from a 7 hour improvised performance Boddy gave in an art gallery during a Comic Art Festival within a sci-fi like setting. Many see this album as the bridge between Boddy's earlier, more melodic styles and the ambient textural approach he developed leading up to the formation of his DiN label in 1999.
The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 

Symbiont by Ian Boddy & Andy Pickford
SER008 - 1995

Boddy's first collaborative release with fellow UK synth musician Andy Pickford. A real powerhouse of an album it was premiered by the duo at the third EMMA festival, Sheffield in 1995. The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 

The Deep by Ian Boddy
SER006 - 1994

The Deep is probably the closest Boddy has come to a concept album as it was heavily inspired by the James Cameron film The Abyss. Alongside Boddy's now trademark melodies & rhythms are sections of orchestral splendour lending an air of grandeur to the album.
The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 

The Uncertainty Principle by Ian Boddy
SER004 - 1993

The first album that Boddy produced and mixed entirely in his own studio has been his biggest seller to date. The combinat- tion of sequencing, melodies and spacy atmospheres produced what is one of the classic UK EM albums of the mid-90's and raised Boddy's profile enormously.
The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 

Jade by Ian Boddy
SER003 - 1987 / 1992

Originally a cassette only release in 1987 it was reissued on CD in 1992. Taking a sideways step from Phoenix Boddy made extensive use of sampling to produce an album with a tapestry of ethnic & eastern textures.
 

Phoenix by Ian Boddy
SER009 - 1986 / 1996

Phoenix was Boddy's third vinyl album and the first to be released on his private Something Else Records. Guest musicians included a drummer, singer & saxophonist and is probably Boddy's most rock orientated album.
It was premiered at the 1985 UK Electronica festival and Boddy was joined on stage by David Berkeley.
 

Spirits by Ian Boddy
SER007 - 1984 / 1995

Second vinyl release also reissued on SER in 1995. The title track was premiered at the first UK Electronica, Milton Keynes in 1983. Featuring the rock drumming of Ian McCormack and vocals of Brian Ross.
The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 

The Climb by Ian Boddy
SER005 - 1984 / 1995

Boddy's classic debut vinyl release from 1984 was reissued on SER in 1995. This release saw a quantum leap in style & composition from his early 3 cassette only releases on the Mirage label.
The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 Surreal to Real Titles

Drive by Ian Boddy
Real 095 - 1991

The second release on Surrel to Real featured Julian Maynard-Smith on electronic wind synth. Drive's 9 tracks have a more structured, compact form than Odyssey but still retain Boddy's melodic style from this period.
The original pressing is now out of print but it has been reissued as a high quality CDr with the original sleeve.
 

Odyssey by Ian Boddy
Real 098 - 1989

Boddy's first CD release features a more symphonic, orchestrated sound than his previous vinyl & cassette albums. Two of the tracks are co-composed with David Berkeley whom was Boddy's on-stage partner from 1985 - 1995.
Out of print.
