Dark Entries celebrates its 15th anniversary by returning to where it all started, our initial darkest entry: Eleven Pond's masterpiece Bas Relief, an ultra-obscure album from 1986 that would become a definitive dark pop holy grail. NY's Eleven Pond were minimal synth masters who met in art school with a shared love of 4AD and Factory Records. Their sound was a merging of punk, dark dance, and minimal synth full of melodic arrangements. This album finally remastered and reissued was changing hands on ebay for $500 and up. This release comprises the band's entire recorded output and the LP artwork has been given a nice 2009 re-design by Jeff of Eleven Pond. With only 500 copies in its initial release, Bas Relief resurfaces with a fresh remaster that corrects a pitch shift from previous reissues. Each copy is housed in a screen printed jacket, like the 1986 edition, and includes a lyric sheet, two postcards and a bookmark. Bas Relief is a true lost relic of the cold 80s and an essential piece Dark Entries history.
