Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds reissues and revives his debut album in form of a special remastered 10th Anniversary edition titled Eulogy For Evolution 2017 available worldwide via Erased Tapes on August 25th. Following its initial release in 2007 and coinciding with Ólafur's 30th birthday, label founder Robert Raths gifted the chance for this record to shine a second time. Eulogy For Evolution is a journey from birth to death, transporting the listener through life itself. Originally written as a teenager, the record has now been restored with the help of his friends, remixed by Ólafur himself and remastered by Nils Frahm. The cover art was redesigned and enhanced by Torsten Posselt at FELD using the original photographs taken by Stuart Bailes during a trip to Ólafur's home in Iceland in 2007. To experience the record in the present day is not only to experience the past, but also the sheer timelessness and relevance of these compositions, and the ambition Ólafur has had from the very beginning. ''Fast forward 10 years, our relationships and knowledge in sound have matured, but you can still hear this urgency in Óli's songs that caught my ears to begin with'', states Robert Raths.

evokes so many emotions
I fell for this album at a friend's house and having bought my own copy, have listened to it many times over the last couple of years. The first few tracks, relaxing and unhurried, bring back a mixture of memories - childhood piano lessons, lazing at the spa, lullabies, with low cello like a mother's soothing hands. Intense and fairly frenzied strings on another track. Towards the end the drums are amazing and have me dancing around the house. And the last little bit brings tears to my eyes recalling my father's funeral. A wonderful composition with emotional depth, and one of my big favourites.

Almost the same as the old one
Almost the same the old one. But still good to have one more spare copy of it - Among all the Olafur’s albums, this is the one I love most

Very pleased, thanks.
I heard some of Arnalds' music on Broadchurch and ordered this on the strength of that. It's a mix of tracks which are completely new to me. I listen mainly while driving! If you like one, you'll like them all. Beautiful instrumental, with a sense of real emotion coming through.
