What you say No-one has reviewed Fires In Distant Buildings by Gravenhurst yet. Give us your opinion on Fires In Distant Buildings by Gravenhurst. What we say This record left our Clint feeling happy. Don't quite know what to make of Gravenhurst. I thought nothing of that first LP but within a few months was totally obsessed about the follow up 6 track EP thingy with the ace Husker Du song. There's a new LP/CD out this week and its a funny old bugger. The first track sounds alarmingly like Slint with dark brooding vocals. Its really atmospheric but a bit twiddly and gothy in places. Next comes the upbeat Strokes-a-like single 'The Velvet Cell' so good they've put it on the album twice which of course is entirely pointless (it returns as a 'reprise'). The third track is like Nick Drake gone electric......and on it goes.  There's some really good songs on here (in a much more electric vein than the earlier records) but it does have the feel of a good EP that has been fleshed out to album length. On Warp.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
