This show presented a personal selection of live tracks recorded at the Spirit of Gravity over the last 20 years, compiled by Tony Rimbaud.
The third Spirit of Gravity compilation came out in 2003 and featured seven eponymous tracks by collective members Christian & Roland, Caleb, Chris, Nick & Tony, Lee, Henry, and Steve. Originally issued on CD, it was released to coincide with the City of Gravity multi-venue festival we ran that year across Brighton.

Released to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Spirit of Gravity as a promoter of experimental and electronic music in Brighton, Hove and beyond, this collection offers a beguiling cross-section of the interesting stuff we’ve been putting on these past two decades. The selection represents acts who have appeared throughout the 20 years, and reflects both the high quality and wide variety of music produced during this time. New and old tracks are featured, including a Nick Langley track on which he has been working since 1997, the first Monster Bobby material to be released for more than 5 years, and the first from Same Actor for 3 years. The compilation includes a plethora of exclusive tracks, including unreleased material from Gagarin and Scanner.
