Hope's Not Lost (Digital)
Yes, after closing down last year, we’re back. We decided it was time to have fun again. Since we closed, the netlabel scene has changed a lot. The internet has changed a lot. Most of our favorite netlabels don’t exist anymore. Everything has changed, for the better we think.
The thought of reopening occured to me in January 2010, after the haiti earthquake. As i stood helpless in front of my television screen, the way i envisioned to help was to make a compilation to raise awareness and funds for haiti. While that didnt turn out the way i wanted it to, i strongly and whole-heartedly advise you to go over to any of these fine establishements: Oxfam, Earthship, Google crisis response. If you think i’m missing some, please email me and i’ll add them.
A slew of artists, new faces, old friends, have given their time to create these wonderful pieces for your enjoyment. Emanuele Errante, Makunouchi Bento, Casper, Evo Luthi, Shiftless, Maps & Transit, Ilkae, Muhr, Transient, Ian Hawgood, Nunu, Woodworkings, Hior Chronik & Logreybeam remind us all in their own way, hope’s not lost.

Album Reviews
The first release on this new-old label is a wonderful compilation of no less than 15 tracks called Hope's Not Lost. Vincent was able to gather some of the finest names in symphonic netalbel-ism for this album, such as the great Ian Hawgood and Emanuele Erante as well as some new faces and names. Needless to say, he also contributed a new piece of his own music under his moniker of Muhr. I can honestly say I enjoy and love each and every single track of this amazing New Classical collection. And again, like with so many of Vincent's own albums, I really love the cover art of "Hope's Not Lost". Read more...

And to celebrate the reopening of Camomille, comes a very nice electronica / ambient compilation, including artists as Ian Hawgood, Makunouchi Bento, Woodworkings... Read more...
Here is an amazing compilation brought to my attention by our good pal Conflict. Put together by a netlabel run by people he is personal friends with. Relax and enjoy, Hope’s not lost.
Después de un año de silencio vuelve el netlabel Camomille, que fue uno de los más respetados e importantes para mi en mis inicios en este mundillo. La idea de reabrir el sello viene a raiz del terremoto de Haití. [...] Musicalmente es una recopilación preciosa, con algunos viejos conocidos como Makunouchi Bento o Transient, buen ambient, piezas para piano, guitarras, indietronica…. Uno de los discos del año. Es una gran noticia que vuelva Camomille, esperamos más música de este netlabel mítico. Read more...
