More Info
Re-issue of this classic Felt album.
Produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins and featuring the skyscraping vocal of Elizabeth Fraser on the mighty ‘Primitive Painters’. Felt found themselves at the top of the independent charts.
Unhappy with the overall sound though – it was as if some of Lawrence’s best songs were lost in an “ethereal swirl”.
John A Rivers has been given access to the original master tapes and six songs have been remixed. Also – side two has been focused, edited, and “made symmetrical”.
Finally, these songs can be heard as intended by Felt. It has become at long last a cohesive whole.
Remastered by Kevin Metcalfe and Lawrence.
