Music from Cold Cave, White Mystery, Lucky Dragons and The Conquerors is available now on limited edition deluxe vinyl.
Building on his 2013 project Station to Station, Doug Aitken’s month-long, building-wide, art intervention at the Barbican is now underway. For the duration of the show, you can witness our on-site mobile pressing unit, the VF Press, pumping away as the music created for the project is pressed onto limited vinyl.
Hot off the VF Press this week are four records recorded live on a moving train as part of the original Station to Station, which crossed North America by train from Atlantic to Pacific over 24 days in 2013.
Each record is pressed in a limited run of 300 and features screen printed and handcrafted ink artwork by Fraser Muggeridge Studio. Order copies from VF Editions and scroll down to listen to the records.
