Based in London, Rothko have been in existence since the spring of 1997, playing their first show at The Hope and Anchor in Islington in August the same year. Their first release was a 7” single, For Danny, on Fierce Panda in the Autumn of ‘97 and the original line up of Mark, Crawford Blair and Jon Meade, went on to release EP’s, singles and three albums, on labels such as Lo Recordings, Bella Union, Foundry, Kraak, Zeal and Narwhal. The original line up disbanded in 2001 and Mark carried on the Rothko name. His first release on his own was his collaboration with Japanese ambient master Susumu Yokota, the 12” EP Waters Edge on Jon Tye’s Lo Recordings, and then the album ‘A Continual Search For Origins’ and 7” single Red Cells on the Too Pure label in 2002. In 2003 Mark started his own label, Trace Recordings, releasing the critically acclaimed Wish For A World Without Hurt album, a collaboration with BLK w/BEAR Since 2004, the line up has been Mark with Michael, Ben and Tom. In the last year they’ve played festivals and toured in the UK, France and Belgium, and in June 2006 released the EP A Personal Account Of Conflict on BadHand Records. Their most recent studio album was Eleven Stages Of Intervention on Bip_HOp and their most recent release is the ep The Longest Distance Between Two points, released in February 2009 on their own Trace Recordings label. The group are currently recording a new album for release late 2009 early 2010.

I love this band. I have seen them live many times and they always deliver. Powerful, haunting, beautiful and moving. You can't ask for more. Best wishes to Rothko from Vince Deehan.

"ridiculously underrated", indeed, without doubt the most underrated band I know of. Whether you are a fan of ambient/post rock/experimental, they are as good as it gets in any of those styles, and what makes them so great is that they combine the sounds/influences to make such unique music. I recently heard Aidan Baker's - Book of Nods, and its a little similar to Rothko's work. Should give that a go.

To be quite honest, Rothko are ridiculously underrated. A great spectrum of work spanning nearly 12 years and still turning out consistently great records. Try and get to see them live if you can.

Finally completed my discography on CD apart from the Landing/Yellow 6 Split, and also missing a few 7"s. New compilation is brilliant. I can't wait for a new release!

Such an awesome discography of work, probably the finest consistent discography apart from Nadja. I love the sound of the eleven stages of intervention. Just breathtaking in parts, I need to get hold of their newest though.
