In their early days, Dolium caused quite a buzz on the UK underground music scene; first in 1999/2000 with their sonic assault on the city of Sheffield – and then some years later, when their 2004 DIY’d debut single (and the label’s first ever release under the name of Parlour 9) quickly caught the attention of BBC radio legend, John Peel.

The rest, as they say, is history…

Take the journey and discover the roots of Bloodjoy with The Products Of Our Own Demands And Commands; a stunning set which includes Dolium’s entire discography (all newly remastered by Rhys himself in the S9 Studio), plus many unheard recordings, including their long-lost, unreleased third album, Brother Transistor.

The story is presented in a striking full colour booklet, featuring art and photography, as well as extensive sleeve notes by the band and their management, plus one or two surprises!
