What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic.

Firstly we have a new album by the magnificent Rachel's. It has 19 tracks on it and on first listen it sounds utterly compelling. For the uninitiated this is a neo classical collective from Kentucky who make some of the worlds most gorgeous music. It's all pianos and cellos, violas and violins that take your breath away. It's their first in quite some time and was two years in the making so you know what to do you lucky, lucky people. Brought to you on Compact Disc  by the good people at Quarterstick. Selenography is on CD and LP

What the label says:

Selenography is the fourth LP from the instrumental group Rachel's. It was released in June 1999 on the Quarterstick label.

The title refers to the scientific study of the moon's topography.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
