Belgian label Souvenirs From Imaginary Cities presents The
Path Of Least Resistance Meets The Point Of No Return, an
album collecting a coherent set of tracks made by British duo
Blue between 1997 and 2001, carefully saved on DAT-tapes.
Recorded as building blocks of an ambient album that was
never wrapped up at the time, today Blue members Chris Mann and Paul Darking stepped back into the
studio to complete a story that has been left untold for so many years. Using in some occasions various mixes
of the same track laid out over each other to come to its conclusive version, the final result is breathtaking and
surprisingly coherent. The ideas had clearly always been there, it only required the right time / a point of no
return to put them all together.
28 years ago Mann and Darking released their debut EP on Andrew Weatherall’s (RIP) Sabres Of Paradise label.
A year later another EP came out on the same imprint, followed by two albums on Weatherall’s label
Emissions Audio Output and a bunch of EP’s on Emissions’ sublabels. Two more albums saw the light of day
on Iris Light Records, but the start of the new millennium brought an end to the creative output of the
production duo known as Blue - until today.
