CTI announces the re-release of four classic Chris & Cosey albums from the 1980s': �Heartbeat�, �Trance�, �Songs of love & Lust� and �Exotika. �These albums, which have been unavailable on vinyl for 20 years, have been painstakingly remastered by Chris Carter from the original master tapes specifically for these vinyl re-releases and showcase what many consider to be some of Chris & Cosey�s finest works from their eighties period.

These limited-edition re-releases are an ideal primer for anyone who isn�t already familiar with Chris & Cosey�s extensive body of work or for those who just want to reacquaint themselves with their unique and often groundbreaking slant on electronica. Each of the four limited-edition albums is available on different coloured vinyl and presented in a specially 'remastered' sleeve which also includes a 12" double-sided insert of archive photos, press clippings and interviews.

�Heartbeat� is the first in the series of four limited-edition vinyl re-releases from the esteemed Chris & Cosey catalogue. Originally released to much acclaimed in 1981 by Rough Trade 'Heartbeat' was the first in a long line of groundbreaking albums by Chris Carter & Cosey Fanni Tutti. This early example of C&C features cut-up sampled voices, Cosey's disto-guitar, Industrial sequences, melodious synths and cinematic sweeps. Archival press quote: �There are moments of great beauty like �Moorby� and, equally, many moments of sheer depravity all performed with Kraftwerk�s cultured class and the hypnotic charm and deadly grace of a synthesised cobra.� Steve Sutherland Melody Maker 1982 Archival press quote: "All the world loves a love story� but 'Heartbeat' still has an edge of evil among the extensions of the pair's established scenarios."
