DUM DUM DUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DUM DUM DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR GRRRRRRNNNNYUUUUURGHEURGHEURGHEURGH DUM DUM DUM etc. You know how this old Earth shit goes and you know if you love it or not. Southern Lord have took on the job of rounding up the complete recordings from their earliest sessions, previously dotted over the Extra Capsular Extraction and Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitars releases. They've done a sterling job - the pressing is spot on, the sound heavy as hell and the presentation (on the vinyl at least) totally gorgeous. I'm sorely tempted..
* For the first time ever the debut recordings of Earth are available in one concise, beautifully documented capsule. A
Bureaucratic Desire for Extra Capsular Extractions contains the entire 1990 Smegma Studios sessions which are the
debut recordings from Earth.
* Previously available scattered via the Extra Capsular Extractions EP and Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitar CD. This
essential collection contains every note from the infamous first Earth recording sessions.
* Earth was founded by Dylan Carlson circa 1989 and in this infancy stages contained several different members
including: Slim Moon (Kill Rock Stars label), Joe Preston (Thrones, Melvins, sunn 0))), HIgh on Fire etc..) and even
Dylans close friend Kurt Cobain. Unbeknownst to Mr. Carlson at the time was that his seemingly simplistic
experimentations with heavy music would literally spawn an entire genre, style and sound borrowing from his musical
theories. Of course were talking about what is commonly referred to as "Drone" or "Drone-Metal".
* From Sunn 0))) to Pelican to Mogwai to Jim O' Rourke the impact that Dylan's tone and music has had is
immeasurable. This collection of the very first experimentations/recordings is an important insight into understanding the
birth of this sound as well as a glimpse of the foreshadowing for the thunder to come. It is with honour that Southern Lord
unleashes this glorious archival release.
* Liner notes from Dylan Carlson with exclusive artwork by Simon Fowler and package design via Stephen O'Malley.
* File Under: Drone, Godfathers of Drone.
* For Fans Of: SUNN0))), Melvins, Thrones, OM, Boris.
