As the world's attention draws to the horrific tragedy that has
befallen the people of Haiti, we have all thought of things we
could do to help. Many are gathering clothing and food, while
others reach into their pockets to see what they have to give.
The terrifying pictures and video we have all seen are sobering
and surreal, and help us all return to the very stark reality
that we are all in this together, no matter where we are in this
world
On Friday, January 15, 2010, a calling was put out to the
Friends and Family of the Andromeda Recordings Group to see what
we could possibly do to help these people. The concept, which
began with Di pledging to donate all of the proceeds of her
forthcoming remix as Aeriah called "Let Me In" to the Red Cross
Haiti Relief Fund, was to be an album of around 8 tracks to
hopefully further maximize the chances to help. 48 hours later,
"In The Light We See" was a reality as one by one, more and more
artists came in with tracks for the effort. 8 tracks and a
prayer quickly grew to 18 tracks and a power, with music from a
number of genres from trance to progressive, from industrial to
acid, to house and back again, further fueling the passion
behind the cause. In one weekend, these artists from 10
countries around the world brought the power of what they do
best in an amazing showing of brotherhood and unity with one
collective heart.
Some of the tracks you will hear were projects that were to be
from future releases, while others were conceived and recorded
during that weekend. Still more are remixes from past and future
releases. Some of the names you see involved are long standing
Family members of Andromeda and Elliptical Recordings while
others may have never released on these labels. There are even
debut efforts from new up and coming artists, in the Andromeda
tradition. The end result is simply amazing and unbelievable,
with something for literally every electronic music lover
contained within. All having come together in 48 hours from
conception to distribution.
100% of all proceeds generated by these tracks, whether
individually or collectively purchased, will go directly to the
Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund. This will not change, even after
the news stories have stopped and the pictures cease to haunt us
on a daily basis. The tragedy and continuing need will not end
any time soon.
It is our sincere hope that this gathering of incredibly
talented international artists can help everyone to see that we
are all indeed one, because as the night fades, "In The Light We
See"..... Enjoy and thank you for your hopeful support in this
cause.
Sincerely, With Gratitude And Honor,
The Andromeda Recordings Group
