Molotov Lounge was produced in 1998. Thaddi and I had just met, over his Sonic Subjunkies project, which had a couple of 12"s out on DHR. Thaddi felt he had to bring the project to a close with an album, and move on. We hung out a lot together, and both sensed that something had to happen. The album was released on CD in 1998, infused both with the explosive tension of hardcore as well as a new, more subdued, melancholic darkness. At the end of 1998, Thaddi sent out to pursue that mood further on a label of his own, city centre offices, and I started Lux Nigra, a label that was to sit between the chairs, just like Molotov Lounge. Now, after six years, to use the album sounds rough, direct, and full of meaning. We still like it a lot. And again - or still - we think something has to happen// Multipara, Lux Nigra, May 10, 2004.
The etching on this record says i-light 12. The vinyl version of Molotov Lounge was cut in 1999, but before it could be released, Iris Light, the label, went under. For a long time, the album hasn't been available. / This is LNV25.
