Ghostly Essentials: Rarities One

A compilation of rare, unreleased, and hard-to-find music from our vaults. Highlights include Matthew Dear's "Don't Go This Way", a tasty leftover from the Asa Breed sessions; Michna's "Quadruple Gold Dipped", an alternate version of the Magic Monday album-opener; and The Sight Below's "Blown", another piece of perfect melancholia from the prolific producer.

1. AEROC - DAISY CHAINS

Made during the sessions of his debut, Viscous Solid (GI-30), this track was featured on a limited XLR8R magazine compilation.

2. AUDION - BEND HER

A never-before-released track from the 2009 Hecatomb sessions, used to great effect in his live sets.

3. BEN BENJAMIN - DESK HAS BEEN TABLED

Ben Benjamin (formerly of Midwest Product and PostPrior) lays down a nice slice of hypnotic pop from 2008.

4. MATTHEW DEAR - DON'T GO THIS WAY

From the 2007 Asa Breed (GI-65) sessions, this track was originally issued as a download at Ghostly's RCRD LBL blog.

5. MICHNA - QUADRUPLE GOLD DIPPED

Unreleased version of 2008's "Triple Chrome Dipped" form his Magic Monday (GI-73) debut.

6. MIDWEST PRODUCT - BELGIAN

Japan-only track from the now-defunct electronic rock trio.

Unreleased instrumental version of Junior Boys' remix from 2006's Idol Tryouts 2 (GI-51) compilation.

8. OUTPUTMESSAGE - METTLE

Outputmessage was an early Ghostly artist; his track "Mettle" never saw release, until now.

9. THE SIGHT BELOW - BLOWN

Another gloomy gem from the prolific producer's vaults.
