Some of his atmospheric and more "artistic" stuff like this leave me longing for the times when he was looking to make music rather than art. By most accounts, Czukay was responsible for most of this, he put it together whilst Sylvian was pissing about in the studio. The direction here isn't Sylvian's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain Tree Crow is arguably better than anything else he’s been involved with, IMO. Like Gone to Earth’s first three tracks, but a whole albums worth of goodness. It’s brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Pre ordered this for the wife about three months ago, price was £12.78. I expected a single LP. In fact it's a double that plays at 45rpm. Final price was £12.75...and they are now knocking it out at £26. Obviously pays to get in early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2018 I used to have a load of those Sound Effects albums. Some I inherited (stole) from my Dad who had them for his Cine Film making many moons ago and some I bought myself. Use to use them for DJing, adding bits over tracks etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
