Glitch in the Colors is the debut full-length vinyl release by Useless Idea, aka Italian artist and producer, Cesare Bignotti. Useless Idea debuted on Suction Records in 2021, with a limited-to-300 12-inch sampler (alongside Bignottis alter-ego Seven Nights Alone), which Bleep.com named as their EP of the Week upon release, writing Useless Ideas widescreen array of hazy synthesized atmospheres, intricate samples and processed recordings conjure thoughts of a fictional past in another dimension.

With previous under-the-radar cassette album releases on WM Records (2018s Acid Hologram) and EVES Music (2020s Xa Peh), Useless Idea has been quietly recording his own brand of inventive, playful, and melodic IDM/braindance for more than 20 years. Weve been slowly compiling Glitch in the Colors for several years now, and the result is a varied, yet cohesive, collection of instrumental electronic beat-scapes recorded over the span of 13 years, with influences ranging from the classic braindance sound of Aphex Twin and Cylob, to the hazy hip-hop electronica of Boards Of Canada, but with a depth of programming and sound design that is all his own. From the melancholy, orchestral hip hop of the title track, to the videogame symphonics of Yster Know, to the delicate piano-house reductionism of Moon Dog, the scope and variety found on Glitch in the Colors is a revelation.

2×12 vinyl LP is limited to 500 copies, with 100 copies on pink-vinyl, and adorned with the artists own original artwork (Bignotti is an accomplished, and highly sought-after, visual artist). Comes with a download card.
