July 7, 2006

Text Of Light - Text of Light 3CD [DPROM058CD] (RELEASE DATE: 07-11-06)
Label: Dirtier Promotions
"Incredible 3 CD set from Text of Light. This is the project of Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, with Alan Licht, William Hooker, Christian Marclay, Tim Barnes, Ulrich Kreiger and DJ Olive. They perform live to a backdrop of Stan Brakhage films, and no set is ever the same. The first 1000 copies of this lavish set will be issued in a special metal box with the 'ToL' logo embossed on the lid, as both a tribute to, and a pastiche of PiL. The first 1000 copies will also come with a round full-colour booklet". You can get it now both in the U.S. and the U.K.

Damn that looks tasty.

hmmm cool... might get this... TOL live was surely one of my most revelatory sonic experiences

Cheers, Moshe. Another hammering for the credit card!

i was at the dundee gig and it was cosmic... this just turned into a must have...

Details on the Dirter Promotions site, including how to pre-order, are here.

Price direct from the label is £25 to the UK, £27 to European Union countries, £29 to the rest of the world.

That looks like a serious must have!

I want it.

mine is in the mail and should arrive in a day or two

i'm listening to it now

got my copy on monday... it's great. and really diverse as well. i listened to the whole thing (about 2.5 hours) in one go.

I hope it wont be sold out soon. Don't have enough money to get it now :(

i noticed that too. it's the first ever text of light performance i think, although i don't have my copy lying here next to me to check. also william hooker has a distinct style from tim barnes of course.

you're listening to this while talking to customes over the phone? nice.
