Electronic announce vinyl format releases of their albums Raise The Pressure and Twisted Tenderness.

Twisted Tenderness is being released for the first time on vinyl and is available on 2LP.  Raise The Pressure is being reissued for the first time on vinyl and is also being made available on 2LP.

Both of the albums are pressed on recycled black vinyl and have been mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright.

Are Friends Electronic

Released in 1996, five years after their critically acclaimed debut, Raise The Pressure was the second studio album from Electronic. For their second release, Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr were joined by previous collaborator Denise Johnson on vocals and expanded the line up to include Karl Bartos (Kraftwerk), who co-wrote six tracks on the 13-track album.

Twisted Tenderness was the band’s third and final studio album, originally released in 1999, it marked a return to a more urgent and visceral energy with tighter song structures. Capturing the spirit of late-90s experimentation with Sumner and Marr’s unmistakable hooks, the record was co-produced by legendary DJ, Arthur Baker. The line up included Jimi Goodwin (Doves) on bass, Ged Lynch (Black Grape) and featured the singles Vivid and Late At Night and a cover of Steve Winwood’s Can’t Find My Way Home.
