Butcher Block Andromeda (graciously christened by Kirk Marrison of Kiln) represents a decade of Milieu music, from its inauguration in May of 2004 to its 10th anniversary celebration in May of 2014. Fifty tracks, carefully selected from dozens of albums, EPs, singles and compilations, lovingly remastered (and in some cases appended for time) to be presented here in this thorough and detailed "beginner's guide". Across the three-disc, four-hour affair, we hear facets of all the various phases Milieu has gone through over the years - from the mid-fi melodies over slow tempos to the house and techno-inflected groovers, from the glitchy atmospheric pieces to the deep ambient odysseys, right on up to present day Milieu, a playful bedroom braindance sound. For both longtime listeners and new recruits, Butcher Block Andromeda should be a fresh and colorful experience of vibrant electronic music, newly minted with a 2014 paint job.

Packaged in a triple-disc jewel case with a factory printed 8-page booklet designed by Eric Adrian Lee, with three printed white discs. Booklet contains extensive liner notes penned by both Brian and longtime Milieu aficionado John-Paul Kramer.
