What you say No-one has reviewed Waiting For The Penny To Drop by Gareth Hardwick yet. Give us your opinion on Waiting For The Penny To Drop by Gareth Hardwick. What we say This record left our Phil feeling happy. Gareth Hardwick now. We've had a few of his releases over the last year and here's another limited one. This one is also part of the installation series (see Brian Grainger review) and is also limited to 100 copies. Here are 2 sets of him playing live. The one is very much like you'd expect if you've heard any of his previous work. Beautiful textured drones which meld into your consciousness in no time. His guitar just lulls you into it.... The 2nd set (recorded in Spain) is a much more lo-fi affair as it was recorded onto a dictaphone. Still very droney but there's more to get in the way of the lovelyness... so it ends up sounding quite full and hazy sounding. Well lovely!! 'Waiting For The Penny To Drop' is CD only.... What the label says: The newest release in our ongoing Installation series, drone-poet Gareth Hardwick graces our catalog with 2 beautiful livesets he performed in Spain and the UK last year. Both extended pieces are gorgeous examples of Hardwick's lulling technique with a guitar and a soothing improvisational listening experience for those of us who may live too far away to see him perform. The first set, recorded digitally, is a very clean and soft bed of billowing cloud-like tones, while the second set, recorded on dictaphone, is a much more hazy trip with a field of textures beneath the ever-evolving drone-swells. Gareth owns and operates his own Low Point label in the UK, which produces alot of great music in it's own right, and we're both honored and excited to be able to bring his newest record to you at Install! Limited to 100 copies.

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.
