French electronica-act OIL10 release Best-Of for 10th anniversary

OIL 10 is one of the most famous projects in the mix-genre of Cinematic Ambient and Dancefloor, and - in addition to that - one of the most important bands on the Funkwelten label. Both of the last two albums "Arena" and "Beyond" are essential parts of every well-assorted Electronica CD-collection. For more than a decade this project has been producing individual and wonderful sound collages. 10 years of OIL 10 - reason enough for us to have a retrospective on all these great sounds.

Since 1998, Oil 10 has produced pure electronic tracks in which powerful, elegant, and analogical sounds mix-up. Gilles Rossire shows that research doesn't always mean icy hermetism and achieves a terrific fusion between ambient and techno.

His approach can be explained by the diversity of his influences: LFO, Pan sonic, FSOL, Autechre, Dead Can Dance, essential first albums of Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream, the 80s electro pop scene (OMD, Freur, Fad Gadget, Ultravox, Depeche Mode...) and recent electronic wave (Fisherspooner, IAMX, Vitalic, The Hacker, Ladytron and so on).

Since he has been a technician in the movie industry for many years, cinema and especially music for films also had a strong influence on him (Forbidden Planet, Edward Artemeyev, John Carpenter, Vangelis, John Williams, Hayao Miyazaki and many more).

"Retrofuture" contains some of the most interesting tracks of all previous releases including the album "In/Out", which was already sold out a long time ago. But Gilles Rossire aka OIL 10 has not only compiled just an ordinary Best-Of. All tracks were remastered and remixed and two new tracks were added - "Retrofuture" comes up like a completely new and independent album. So just be enchanted by pulsating sounds and get into the world of intelligent electronic music - be part of OIL 10's fascinating vision.
