Album Notes

The first review to appear of this record called it "a cloudy dream far west of hope". So there you go.

All ten tracks were co-written by Paul Austin (former Willard Grant Conspiracy guy) and Terri Moeller (Walkabouts) and were put to tape by Tucker "Mount Analog" Martine, who's worked on such diverse stuff as Laura Veirs, Modest Mouse, Downpilot, Land of the Loops, Jesse Sykes, "out there" jazz cat Wayne Horvitz and "in there" jazz cat Bill Frisell. Mixing acoustic instruments with ambient field recordings and occasional electronic gristle and wheeze, this staunchly slow-fi record sounds savagely beautiful very late at night or very early in the morning. Listening to it in bright sunlight, however, can be strangely unsatisfying.

There are two other releases by the Transmissionary Six available on CD Baby as well!

I love this album, this handmade music. I can't speak about it with musical terms. The only thing I can say is that listening to it, I feel like home. Excellent!!

My favorite find of '02 so far

This is my favorite pleasant surprise since the first Grandaddy record. Spare and groovy and a little oddball.

Nice little album here, a bit on the short side (Reason I gave it only 3 stars), but very nice while it lasts. It just has this...world is collapsing but sit back and sleep a while...kind of feel to it, very atmospheric. Very pleasant surprise.

Sparkles like a horse, Chock full o'couplets
author: Inkjet!
                            
tape loops and mandolins and cool harmonies and somehow it all fits together. a solid debut from this sextet from Washington, if they come to Wisconsin I'll bet they'll even bring the rain with them. In the meantime this disc is soaked with it. Recommended. (InkJet! #18)
