STARS OF THE LID Music For Nitrous Oxide (30 Year Anniversary Remastered)

Popis:

Music for Nitrous Oxide was where it all began, recorded with perfunctory equipment (at least by today’s standards) that also included a DAT tape machine for ‘Lid (Live)’ and eventually a Revox reel-to-reel for the closer ‘Goodnight’. Before we can get there, we have to go back to the start, and what an unusual start it is too. Seconds of arrested silence seem to tick away on opener ‘Before Top Dead Center’, an aeon in the streaming age. Hold your breath and marvel at the aberration, before far-off sonic asteroids begin slowly colliding with the magnetic tape. If a fade-in seems like career suicide seen through the prism of modern digital streaming etiquettes, then what Stars of the Lid were doing in 1995 was entirely against the grain too."
