Description
Set Fire To Flames way long out of print "Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped in Static" 2XLP released on Alien 8 in 2003. Only played once. Out of print. Original copy in near mint condition. This copy comes with all inserts: the beautiful booklet and the Alien8 "Upcoming" Recordings post card. This LP is a must for fans of godspeed you black emperor, do make say think...basically anything put by Constellation Records.
Cut from the same collectivist French-Canadian cloth as Godspeed You Black Emperor (of which 6 memebers were in GYBE!), the thirteen members of Set Fire To Flames take a slightly more experimental approach to creating instrumentals that may at times approach the epic scale of GYBE in track length, but occupy a much less theatrical and grandiose territory in scope. "Telegraphs in Negative..." was recorded almost entirely in a collapsing barn, with instrumentation including cello, bass clarinet, guitar, saw, french horn, marimba, glockenspiel, music box, gutted two-track motors, tapes, contact mics and faulty electronics. The barn itself heavily inflects these recordings, as bits of field recordings as well as in the way the recording process captures not just the sounds of the instruments but also their interaction with space and architecture. It makes for a record that's very intimate not neccesarily in an emotional sense, but in the way it involves the listener with a very specific mood, location and group process. Opting for tangents into extended drones, collages and improvisation rather than reaching for epic melodic climaxes, the sound is sparse, crumbling and dark, but not entirely melancholy.
Payment by Paypal only. International shipping - ok! Record shipped in protective record box type thing (which is why shipping is $2 extra).
