In the beginning there was an idea of gathering what used to be scattered across several labels. Artists that were accepted for
their work that was too far out to see the light of day in a world of streamlined stereotypes, rather than just incrementing the
release count by one. Three years later, after several ups and downs it seems Petcord has finally been accepted for what it is
and that was reason enough to dare release our first compilation. Usually, there's little point in aquiring these, since they
merely summarise previous albums, but in our case, the contributing artists participate with exclusive tracks that haven't been
released before on the label.
The music itself spans across familiar sections prominently featured on Petcord, namely electroacoustic, dark ambient, drone and otherwise experimental feedback, clicks and crackling loops that fail to comply to stereotypes. Whilst a dominance of gloomy, tension ridden tracks can't be denied, there are also some moments of peace and relief, with a varying degree of complexity, dissonance and worked out structures. In case you always wanted to know what kind of music is typical for Petcord without the necessity to go through all 30+ releases that have accumulated over the years, here is your summary.

for your browser. Do not worry about that, for our site is perfectly usable without Flash. It is just the player that
will not work ;-).
You are allowed to download this Petcord release free of charge and use it for any
noncommercial purpose that does not involve modifying the work or incorporating it
into another. You may share it with your friends in filesharing networks, have as much copies
on any media as you like or add it to your noncommercial netradio playlist, as long as
you abide by the terms and conditions defined by the following

The release is available as both single mp3 download and entire package including artwork. Some browsers may automatically play the file rather than offering a dialogue what to do with the latter, so in this case downloads may not be that straight forward. In case your favourite browser happens to exhibit exactly that behaviour, simply right click the link, and then a context menu should appear that offers something like "Save as" or "Save location as".
