Why it's here

Drowning in a Sea of Love gives Border Community's melodic-techno aesthetic one of its defining full-length forms. 'The Sky Was Pink' is the one James Holden remixed into a decade-defining record. The original is quieter and stranger than the version everyone knows. Nathan Fake's shoegaze-hued synths make the music emotional and the pulse stays hard, letting melody and cosmic atmosphere carry as much weight as the rhythm.
