Another cheerily titled album! I think my first album (which I've been writing for the last 30 years) is gonna be called 'I was born and then I died and I can't remember what happened in between'. Pretty apt I think and I'm sure I can get Cowell on board with a catchy title like that. Back to the 6meister. This rare vinyl excursion (you don't get too much Yellow 6 on vinyl these days!) is limited to just 100 copies. It's on the Tonefloat label, is hand-numbered, wax-stamped and limited to a paltry 100 copies. Oh it's on clear vinyl too. Here the 6man plays with feedback, piano and acoustic guitar with his usual aplomb. As ever it's the usual moving cinematic sounding stuff which conjures up the whole desolate landscape imagery. Having said that I think it's probably the best thing I've heard by him in ages. I've not even played side 2 yet. Far too obsessed with side 1 and its gentle post-rockery. I can't think of a post-rock record I've heard in ages which I've liked but finally there is one and this is it! It's emotive shit with it's simple guitar refrain and Godspeed-esque feedback in the background. Truly excellent.
limited edition of 100 copies as 1st printing on 180 grams clear vinyl in handmade sleeve with lacquered and stamped insert.
