...A Beautiful Moment, Trapped, Glowed Under The Water.
Some exciting things being brought to us by lady Music this month. Not only are we (Jane Lane) preparing to release our debut EP, Stories, at the end of this month, but we ourselves are expecting a bucketload of amazing releases. I thought that I'd mention some in this blog; I've considered before turning MMLI into a music blog, so let's both just consider this the first real step in that direction.
Eluvium - "Genius And The Thieves" (from An Accidental Memory InThe Case Of Death)
Just learned that Eluvium, aka Matthew Robert Cooper, will be releasing a 7-LP vinyl box set with hardbound, cloth cover book. The release itself contains every single Eluvium release. The might be the most beautiful designed and well planned vinyl release I've seen this year - maybe even since Sigur Ros' "In A Frozen Sea".
I consider Eluvium's "Talk Amongst The Trees" my 'desert island' album. I could listen to that ambient masterpiece a million times and never get bored of it. Every single time I hear it, I discover new, hidden (or simply, waiting?) pieces in the music. New things. Exciting things. Eluvium is something special to me.
It was this music that really pushed me towards exploring the ambient realm - new artists such as Hammock and Helios, as well as "legendaries" (if you can call artists of the 80s and early 90s onwards "legendaries") such as Brian Eno, Tim Hecker, and Christian Fennesz. It really opened new doors.
Eluvium Live: "Under The Water It Glowed"
The Eluvium box set will be available for preorder from Temporary Residence Ltd. on October 1st. They estimated the price at $100 plus shipping.
Matthew Cooper has been very busy as of late - he also just released a self-titled album available exclusively on vinyl entitled "Miniatures". I offer a track for you all to enjoy from that release.
That's all for now. Next time: Thursday, Envy, And How They Learned To Play Nice.
