Since that time the LP has been circulating around the globe, being passed from listener to listener. The hope was that it would one day return, covered in graffiti, dust and scratches, with a few stories to tell. The LP did indeed come back, semi-destroyed, in June 2008. The majority of the audio was originally salvaged from already decaying tape loops - sounds which were grainy and otherworldly - and it was hoped that as the record degraded and became warped and scratched, the listeners would unwittingly contribute towards the final record. The re-issue set comprises of a CD transfer mastered from the vinyl and a full colour booklet illustrating the artistic contributions made by the people who looked after the record. It is housed in a handmade, stamped and numbered recycled card sleeve and is strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide. http://www.discogs.com/release/1447634 If you think this run of 500 CD copies for Bracken\'s \'Eno About The Need\' is a bit too limited for its own good, try the original vinyl edition for size: there was just one copy made. That LP version made its way across the globe, being passed from Bracken fan to Bracken fan, each wearing down the grooves with every play, and even going so far as to contribute to the record\'s ever-evolving artwork. Finally, after months of wear and tear, the LP made it back home to Bracken HQ, by which point the already rather hazy audio (salvaged from decaying tape loops, Basinski-style) had mutated into a markedly different listening experience thanks to the dust, scratches and warping it had been subjected to over the course of its travels. It was this nth generation version of the album that was eventually transferred to the CD edition for sale here, leaving you with an authentically aged and well-worn document that\'s not so much a Bracken record as it is a collaboration between Chris Adams and the lucky erstwhile owners of that pummelled vinyl copy. The end result at times sounds like a Grouper record that\'s been freshly exhumed from some grubby crypt, experimenting with semi-erased electrical hum signals and distant, profoundly obfuscated songs. It\'s not only a thoroughly beautiful listening experience, but it\'s one of those rare concept albums that holds a genuine resonance and tells quite a story. Followers of Hood, Bracken, Belong, or indeed the aforementioned William Basinski and Grouper will want to snap one of these up as soon as possible. Highly Recommended. http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=132027 _______________________________________________________________________ 01-The Disconnect [05:13] 02-Roads (Modular) [01:16] 03-Nomap [03:24] 04-Second Guessing [04:47] 05-Velma Dyer [01:24] 06-And in Rev [02:17] 07-Hollow [00:42] 08-Martenside [03:24] 09-By Martenside [01:54] 10-Burning In [03:32] 11-Found Tape [01:37] 12-Gain Calderlike [05:17] 13-Esiov [02:08] ------- 36:55 min |
