I wanted to write something loud, because I haven't done that much lately. So this is something loud. Kind of inspired by Chris Forsyth's amazing live album People's Motel Band, especially the track 'Tomorrow Might As Well Be Today', which sounds to me like the most fun anyone has ever had playing music.
Thanks to Gwen and Jake for the excellent gift of a Roland Space Echo RE-201, which makes it's first appearance here.
This record completely changed my relationship with the guitar. Roy Montgomery creates whole worlds with one instrument. The story of how this album came about makes it even more beautiful. Beigelord
Emo? Human Hands completed it mate. A record with an atmosphere like no other. These songs are like hymns. I'm forever trying to play this, but you can't recreate whatever magic they had going on. Beigelord
Strange and wonderful. A total inspiration to me in many ways, demonstrating the power of slowness, repetition, music as catharsis, and complete disregard for commercial considerations. Beigelord
