Curious Music Presents: The Definitive Edition of Lazy Arc

Tim Story and Hans-Joachim Roedelius's Lazy Arc receives its first-ever vinyl release—an exquisite, limited-edition double LP on 180g crystal-clear vinyl housed in a pristine gatefold jacket. Originally issued in 2014 as a small CD-only edition, this definitive reissue by Curious Music features newly remastered audio by Tim Story, capturing the work’s ethereal essence with unparalleled clarity.

This expanded edition also includes two exclusive bonus tracks and an expansive new rework of the opening track "Lazy Arc One" by renowned sound innovator GAUDI, further deepening the immersive experience of this avant-garde masterpiece. Complementing the vinyl release, Lazy Arc is available as a limited-edition CD and pristine digital download.

Recorded during the sessions for the critically acclaimed Lunz and Inlandish albums, Lazy Arc diverges into a more abstract, meditative realm. Its seven-part suite reflects the intuitive interplay between Roedelius’s poetic piano and keyboard melodies and Story’s subtle, masterful electronic enhancements. The album embodies over 15 years of collaboration and 30 years of friendship between these two pioneers, showcasing their shared commitment to exploring uncharted sonic landscapes.

Fully reimagined for this expansive release, the fresh visual presentation complements perfectly Lazy Arc's unique sonic language. The new cover features a mesmerizing, colorized LIDAR image of a river valley by Dan Coe, whose innovative work brings a sense of depth and intrigue to the release. Sebastian Boecking’s beautifully textured design and panoramic layout elevate the visuals to striking effect.

This reissue is a celebration of Lazy Arc’s timeless beauty, inviting both long-time admirers and new listeners to experience its evocative depth.

"Saving its deepest moments for the very end – the final two movements, almost surprisingly simple and effortlessly beautiful, stand as career highlights in either musician’s long and celebrated discographies."
