Canadian music magazine Textura is embarking on a new venture with the launch of their record label. The first release is a very limited album entitled Kubla Khan, named after the eighteenth century poem Kublan Khan Or A Vision In A Dream, A Fragment by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The album features the exclusive work of four very different artists and formations: Alexander Turnquist, Ryan Francesconi, who contributes two solo tracks and one with Lili De La Mora, The Retail Sectors and orchestramaxfieldparrish.

Kubla Khan is not a compilation in the traditional meaning of the word as it features specially commissioned work and actually works as an overall listening experience. The CD, of which only 500 copies have been pressed, is available from the Textura website.
