about

This album was commissioned to celebrate the union of Roel & Ellis in marriage in De Rijp, The Netherlands, 04 June 2004. It was an extraordinary invitation and came with a heavy responsibility! I performed the soundtrack live at the wedding itself in front of their family and friends.

This deluxe digital edition includes 21+ minutes of unreleased material, with alternative versions of the album tracks

Roel ran the Steamin' Soundtracks label, which is celebrating its own anniversary, so keep up to date with his releases here

"... one of his most accessible and touching releases ..." (The Wire)

Marion (20th Anniversary Edition)
by Michael Fakesch

First released in 1999 this was a killer scratchy glitched out beat gem, and remains so today. The Boards of Canada remix is a gem too! Scanner
