This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.

midaircondo are a Swedish trio (Lisa Nordstrom, Lisen Rylander and Malin Dahlstrom) fusing highly visual performance with improvised live electro acoustic music. The three developed their unique sound through improvised jam sessions using saxophone, flute, vocals and of course laptops and samplers. 'Shopping For Images' is a purified essence of this vibrant energy, and while tailored for the studio, it still retains the live improvised quality which makes midaircondo so unique. Deep bass and swooping atmospheres plunge the listener into midaircondo's world; one of variety and depth, and for fifty minutes it is impossible to escape its charm.
