2025 marks the 15th anniversary of THE OCEAN's "Heliocentric" and "Anthropocentric" albums. On the occasion of this, the instrumental versions of these albums will be released on vinyl for the first time ever, with new artwork by Martin Kvamme.

Conceptually, ,Heliocentric" and ,Anthropocentric" are a comprehensive critique of the legacy of christianity: While ,Heliocentric" approaches the topic in a historical-chronological way, the main focus of ,Anthropocentric" is the ,Grand Inquisitor"-chapter in Dostoyevsky's world-famous novel ,The Brothers Karamazov", spread out over 3 tracks of the album.

Other songs like the serene ,The Almightiness Contradiction" take up ideas by Richard Dawkins, the spearhead of modern day's aetheism.

Since 2001, the Berlin-based musician collective THE OCEAN have released 10 critically acclaimed studio albums, and a split EP with Japanese post-rock legends Mono.

With an ever-changing lineup of various on- and off-stage musicians and visual artists, the relentlessly touring group have become well known for their immense, mind-expanding live shows, which they have carried into the most remote corners of the globe, from Siberian squats to colonial theatres in Ecuador.

Black and coloured 2LP available, 9mm spine gatefold & metallic inks, printed inner sleeves.
