The EcoRecord, launched by Sonopress in 2024, represents a significant innovation in the LP record industry. Developed with sustainability in mind, it reduces the environmental impact while preserving the superior audio quality that artists and fans demand. This innovation underscores Sonopress' commitment to responsible manufacturing and cutting-edge technology in the entertainment industry.
BMG, one of the world’s leading music companies, has chosen the EcoRecord for the release of Renascence, the long-awaited new album from legendary British funk group Cymande. Regarded as a “true return to form,” Renascence builds upon the band’s iconic discography, seamlessly continuing the journey from their 1974 album Promised Heights. Fusing a fresh modern edge with their foundational influences on early hip-hop and funk in the United States and UK, Renascence tells the story of a band that never fully received its due but is now reclaiming its place in music history with their politically aware and spiritually uplifting grooves.
Nitsa Kalispera, Executive Vice President of Global Supply Chain at BMG, commented on the partnership: “The launch of the first BMG EcoRecord with Sonopress is part of our ongoing commitment to more sustainable solutions. At BMG we are continuously exploring ways to reduce our environmental impact while maintaining the highest production standards. Renascence is a fitting release to introduce this innovation, reflecting both our sustainability efforts and the artist’s forward-thinking approach.”
Jörg Pollmeyer, Senior Vice President Sales at Sonopress, added:
“The EcoRecord is the result of our dedication to sustainable innovation in the music industry. We are honored that BMG is supporting this initiative with such a prestigious release. Cymande’s Renascence embodies the spirit of artistic authenticity and evolution, making it the ideal project to showcase the capabilities of our EcoRecord technology.”
With the release of Renascence, high-quality sound meets eco-conscious innovation. Fans and collectors alike can now enjoy Cymande’s latest masterpiece with the assurance that their listening experience contributes to a more sustainable future.
