METAMATICS Midnight Sun Pig (2xLP SUN PIG PINK)

The complete album for the first time ever on LP - Limited Edition Coloured Double Vinyl.

A classic of its time, ‘Midnight Sun Pig’ was first released by the now defunct Swedish based Dot Records at the dawn of the Millennium and gives a fascinating insight into the mind of Metamatics, with a distinctive sound that is impossible to pigeonhole. Metamatics - aka the influential Lee Anthony Jude Norris whose numerous albums and singles across a string of labels under the monikers of Metamatics, Norken, Nacht Plank and Autumn Of Communion have captivated electronica aficionados for two decades.

Looking to Eno, Numan and Depeche Mode more than his fellow electronic contemporaries, Lee has become a hugely influential artist in his own right among serious music makers - cred-stokingly namedropped by Radiohead's Colin Greenwood, Laurent Garnier, Nicolas Lutz and John Foxx amongst others. Original pressings of his albums have become much sought-after as time has moved forth changing hands for upwards of £100 a piece. 

Hydrogen Dukebox, with whom Lee has had a long-term working relationship, have resurrected the cult LP, releasing the whole album as a two LP set for the first time. As many fans will agree, this is the only way ‘Midnight Sun Pig’ should be given the re-release treatment, pressed onto vinyl in its entirety with new artwork by life-long Hydrogen Dukebox collaborator and designer Chris Thomson and all 10 tracks presented across two pristine slabs of SUN PIG PINK VINYL, released on Friday 12th June 2020.
