Safety in a Number

by bvdub | Brock Van Wey

supported by

Jacob Childress Oh, I didn't realize objective beauty came in mp3. Thank you. Favorite track: 02 - Safety in Numbers.

nome IMO this album is the 'tightest' of all Bvdub's albums. It clearly shows Bvdub's confidence & ability in his craft. very well recommended.

"You don't have to run away
My heart is a safe place for you to stay
You don't have to run away
With me your life won't be the same" Favorite track: 01 - Warm Tears in Three Colors.

No Tears shure bvdub has a strong bond to angels.

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
365 copies, personally hand numbered, signed, and sealed in embossed gold foil. these will never be re-pressed or re-issued.

100 Japanese-edition copies sold separately and exclusively through Linus, Japanese orders please go through Linus.com, i will not accept Japanese orders through Bandcamp.

these are encased in a CD jacket, no fold-out. This is not only to minimize shipping costs as much as humanly possible (which are already outrageous, please don't blame me, blame the postal system - *with* a protective cardboard insert i was still able to get it down to less than most CDs would cost to ship), but also because in my experience, a compact and simple jacket allows the CD to move much less, and should result in far less possibility of scratching or other damage usually caused by digipaks, eco-wallets, etc. Plus nothing wrong with less damage to the environment ;)

* 1 CD per customer. do not try to use fake accounts etc, in order to obtain CDs so you can sit on them and gouge people on them later. i have comprehensive lists of such people (and accounts) from the Quietus days, and from current accounts from numerous labels, and i know who you are. your orders will be refused, and your money returned. this is about music, life, and experience - not your personal "investment" and thievery at the hard work of others - mine or anyone else's.

about

the most involved, complete, and intense album i have ever made - over a two-year span, on two continents, this is, for me, the zenith of my ambient sound, and voice, to date.

i am forever grateful for your trust and support.

I'm in the same percussive boat as some other fans, as I'll replay these a little more than the beatless ambient (love it all the same though!). Really big fan of the samples, patterns, layering, and power behind it. His pads, strings, melodies, vocals, piano solos, are emotional and may cause pain, but the rhythm will pick you up and push you through it in a cathartic way. Μaπ Β
