The "Godfather of Electro-Soul" Michal Menert has finally released his highly praised Elements EP as a free digital download. The album was released earlier in 2014 but only available in it's original vinyl format through Menert's own label, Super Best Records. For the first time, fans can download and enjoy Elements without having to fire up the record player.

"Elements is a tribute to alchemy, the transformation of matter. I always believed that sampling has the potential to transform a dusty, forgotten moment into a vibrant landscape of fantastic impossibilities. Music has an alchemic property, transforming silence into song, nothing into something. I chose Fire, Air, Water, and Earth, the four basic element of alchemy, as seeds for these songs.

"The first, Slivers of Light, represents fire, the sun, and the light given by both. Your Ghost, a song dedicated to the memory of my father Tadeusz Menert, signifies the element of air, and the unseen spirits therein. Eventide's two parts embody the duality of water: Part 1 is the turbulent high tide, water's destructive powers, crashing along the shores into Part 2, which sweeps through the lifegiving and cleansing properties, a low tide of sorts. The album closes with Quiet Earth, a song for my mother, Jolanta, as well as the earth that we chisel away at as a species. This song begins with the noise of humanity, with a lone voice crying out "Do you see, just what you mean to me" until the commotion calms, signifying the end of us, a finality, a quiet earth.

"I hope you enjoy what I consider my favorite work so far, remastered and released as a whole, digitally, for the first time ever."
