CUE DOT SERIES - CUE DOT 004: ========================== Manfred Hamil is just one of the many aliases used by music producer Steve Kelly. "Cue Dot and Steve Kelly/Manfred Hamil have set the bar high for 2021 with Everything Fades and other releases under the electronica banner will do well to match the brilliance of this collection." - Gordon Rutherford, Louder Than War "Manfred Hamil has produced an exquisite album of electronic music. Great art should always be celebrated and this is great art." - Bobby Gant, Iniquitous Glory "Everything Fades allows enough space for the listener to paint their own images whilst gently pulling you along. It is a hymn and a celebration for a scene that needs us now more than ever." - Simon Tucker, At The Barrier Steve started producing electronica back in 2001, initially under the pseudonym SK123, but later as his more targeted alter egos, Douglas Deep, Macerator and Manfred Hamil. And it is through Manfred Hamil that Steve chooses to channel the more ambient, cinematic side of electronica, inspired by releases from legendary labels such as City Centre Offices, Erased Tapes and Ninja Tune. With “EVERYTHING FADES” he continues an emphasis on some of the darker and melancholic aspects of electronic music, yet still creating space for quiet optimism. As we enter an era of newly defined norms, we feel honoured to share this perfect soundtrack reflecting upon times we’ve endured and the hopefulness of a future to come. For more infor
