20th Anniversary Edition Remastered version of Mu?m's iconic debut album Including new reworks by Hauschka, So?ley and Kronos Quartet. In 1999, on December 23 to be precise, the electronic music landscape changed forever. On that day, the now legendary Icelandic band Mu?m released their debut album Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is OK. The thing is though, back in the day, hardly anybody realized. It was Christmas after all, people were busy with potentially more important things and didn't pay attention to some kids selling records on Reykjavi?k's high street. Little did those shoppers know. Thankfully, those 10 tracks weren't overlooked for long. On the contrary: the album went on to become one of the most influential building blocks of what back then was called electronica and today is considered an art form playing a crucial and important role in shaping and defining the rich electronic music culture of the 21st century. Now, 20 years after the record dropped onto planet Earth, Morr Music reissues the remastered album with its original artwork, adding newly commissioned re-works: A note-for-note representation of Smell Memory by Kronos Quartet (with additional drums by mu?m's Samuli Kosminen), a gentle reinterpretation of Random Summer by acclaimed pianist and composer Hauschka and an otherworldly new version of Ballad Of The Broken String recorded by label mate So?ley. Additionally, four remixes produced in the early 2000s are made available for the first time ever on vinyl here.
