Two decades of musical history, 13 studio albums, hundreds of gigs and countless cover stories lie behind our German darkwave favorites Project Pitchfork. Their debut album «Dhyani» was released 20 years ago, and became a seminal work of German dark electro music and one of the genres’ early milestones. To celebrate this anniversary, Project Pitchfork are releasing the lavishly equipped best of album «First Anthology» and invite everybody to the most extensive and extraordinary journey through the first 10 years of their history – from their very early steps at their own label Candyland Entertainment to their time with the major company East West.

Two brimful CDs feature a total of 31 tracks from the first Project Pitchfork decade. But instead of simply sweeping the tracks together without giving them so much as a glance, every single song has been remastered and adapted to today’s’ production possibilities – with a special attention on conserving the atmosphere and characteristic sound inherent to the original versions. Consequently, «K.N.K.A.», one of the first Project Pitchfork tracks ever, stands side by side with the ecstatic sound realms of the new millennium present in titles like the immortal «Timekiller». Besides laborious reworks of unforgettable classics like «Existence» or «Endzeit», the best of also features the brand new track «Burning» that has been exclusively written for this release.

Project Pitchfork «First Anthology» will be released on March 25th, 2011 via Trisol. The album will be available in 2 versions: standard double CD edition (Double CD in 6-panel digipak, 28-pages booklet, cat. no.: TRI 415) and Limited Special Edition (Double CD in luxurious 8-panel digipak in special 7“(!)-format, 64-pages extra-booklet (appr. 184 x 184 mm), precious artprint on high-quality paper (170 grams) with elaborate «Singer» thread stitching, booklet including an extensive biography (English and German) written by Björn Springorum (ORKUS Magazine) with numerous facts, stories and background information on Project Pitchfork plus picture gallery from Peter Spilles' private archive with tons of unreleased photos from the past 20 years of Project Pitchfork, strictly limited to 2,000 copies, cat. no.:  TRI 414)
