Hello folks
Hope you are all safe and well.
As many of you are probably already aware, today Bandcamp are once again waiving their usual fees for 24 hours to help support artists during this worrying time. We are lovingly referring to this as Bandcamp Friday!
On March 20th Bandcamp made the decision to waive their fees for the first ever Bandcamp Friday and music lovers around the world spent over $4.3 million on music and merch in one day; directly supporting artists and almost breaking the internet at the same time.
Today Bandcamp are repeating this brilliant gesture and have committed to doing the same on the first Friday of the month for at least the next three months. Yet another reason we love Bandcamp and continue to support them. It really is the best place to buy your music.
Now for the hard sell…
Since the last Bandcamp Friday I have released two new albums!! Yes you heard that right; not one, but two new albums!!
As my electronic solo alter-ego Monochrome Echo I released a collection of ambient works composed and recorded over the last six months over a two album set; The Forgetting and Timelapse.
Both of these releases are exclusively on Bandcamp. So if you haven’t got your copies yet today would be a particularly welcome time to top up your Monochrome Echo collection. I’m also offering 35% off the full back catalogue when you buy the full set.
I’ve already bought a few albums today safe in the knowledge that every penny I spend is going directly to the artists I love. It’s an excellent time to clear out that expanding wishlist!
So please do head over to https://monochromeecho.bandcamp.com and have a listen for yourself. And big thanks to everybody that already bought the albums and EPs. I’m very lucky to have some very dedicated supporters and it means a lot that people are out there enjoying this music.
Happy listening and happy Bandcamp Day!!
Simon

Hello folks,
As we all sit at home in these strange and uncertain times it’s been great to see so much positivity in the music world. Artists are live-streaming gigs and jams from home and several music software companies are doing great deals and freebies to help those artists make the best of this time of self-isolation.
Today the wonderful people at Bandcamp are waiving all their fees so all the money from all music you purchase today on Bandcamp goes straight to the artist.
Now it goes without saying that there is a plethora of awesome music out there right now and I’ve already bought a couple of albums this morning safe in the knowledge that I’m supporting those artists in as direct as way possible right now. I’ve posted link on my Monochrome Echo Twitter.
So today would be a most excellent time for you to purchase some Monochrome Echo records too! I’ve reinstated the 50% discount for anyone buying the complete back catalogue for the foreseeable future whilst all this chaos continues. You can find all my albums at https://monochromeecho.bandcamp.com.
Here’s the latest album Matrix Rebooting to give you a taster…
Stay safe and well folks.

Hello folks,
For those of you that haven’t spotted it yet, I’ve been producing electronic music under the name Monochrome Echo for a few years now.
Today I’m releasing my second full-length album Nobody Is Looking At You worldwide and I need your support! It’s a collection of 14 tracks I’ve been working on over the last year or so. Jason Rebello guests on one track and the artwork is by the excellent artist StrateGo.Nine. Ta-da!
Big thanks to those of you that preordered the album on my Bandcamp page! The album is now also available to buy and/or stream in all digital stores worldwide including all the usual suspects (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal etc). Personally I’d go to Bandcamp for the HD version. Plus you can also buy my full discography on bandcamp with a nifty 25% discount (£18.75 for the lot). Not to be sniffed at folks…
So, if you haven’t already, now’s the time to follow Monochrome Echo on Spotify, Twitter and Facebook.
After you’ve gone and bought the record obviously.
It’d also be an excellent time to add a few Monochrome Echo tracks to your electronic music playlists on Spotify. I’d start with Dot Matrix, Master Control Program and Look Both Ways (feat. Jason Rebello). They’re my favourites anyway. Spotify seems to have changed it’s discovery algorithm and forgotten what I sound like.
But most importantly it’s time to spread the word! You will know better than me who amongst your friends will be into my stuff. Please tell them about the record and share my links and posts on your Twitter feed, Facebook etc. It makes a big difference.
Anyway, without further ado, here’s the new album and I hope you like it!
Tell your mates!!
