This may be your last chance to get a sealed original copy of this collectable gem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNed Raggett's review on AllMusic hits the nail on the head as far as a description of the sounds: \"A collection of songs that call to mind a less strung-out, more wistful Thin White Rope. There are quicker, rockier songs here and there, like 'Separation Days' and 'Casim Glue Co.,' but above all else it's the singing (from Mike Boul) that defines the album. He's gentle without being wispy, higher voiced without being entirely twangy, a bit like Mark Eitzel or Mark Kozelek but lacking profound melancholy, instead capturing an attractive drowning in the sound. Slathering on the\u003cspan\u003e echo at points—check out the choruses of 'The Ulcer Prophecy,' where he lets loose more loudly than usual—helps him further in that regard. Musically there are suggestions of high lonesome sounds transposed with a bit of guitar fire like Echo and the Bunnymen's, say, psychedelic but clearly of a newer time. Perhaps even a touch of U2 here and there—'Flow' in particular—but done in a way that avoids suggestions of bad stadium ballads. Phil Carney and Bill Boyle, the guitar players in the band, make for a good team, avoiding rough crunch in favor of attractive digital delay swirl. There is definitely a hint of semi-shoegaze, or at least where some of the more summery impulses of that style would go, in songs like 'Goon Lagoon,' its wistful chime combining with Boul's slightly more mournful touch to suggest one of the best American responses yet to the Smiths.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independent Project Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49719854727405,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6995\/0701\/files\/be3eef69-e1014b_96b895cf33144a06ae8a7a5b327bb90d_mv2.jpg?v=1774300804"},{"product_id":"red-temple-spirits-retrospective-3-cd-set","title":"RED TEMPLE SPIRITS - Retrospective 3 CD Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndependent Project Records is thrilled to announce the CD reissue of the two phenomenal albums released by this enigmatic Los Angeles band from the late 1980's: \u003cem\u003eDancing To Restore An Eclipsed Moon\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eIf Tomorrow I Were Leaving For Lhasa, I Wouldn’t Stay a Minute More...\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1988 and 1989, these two albums sound like nothing else from the period, deftly blending gothic post-punk sounds with pagan tribal psychedelia. Red Temple Spirits’ debut has been described as a haunting masterpiece of psychedelic post-punk, laden with exotic musicianship and a unique combination of Native American and Eastern mysticism. While shimmering guitar textures weave patterns over heavy hypnotic rhythms, the enchanting lyrical imagery of vocalist William Faircloth brings a trippy, shamanistic quality to the proceedings. Easily some of the most mesmerizing and vital post-punk music ever created, Red Temple Spirits play with an austerity, grace, and pureness to form that remains fresh over two decades after they originally recorded. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDancing To Restore An Eclipsed Moon\u003c\/em\u003e contains ten powerful originals, and includes what may be the finest cover version extant of Pink Floyd’s \u003cem\u003eNile Song\u003c\/em\u003e. The band’s second album has been described as a fully-developed excursion into other realms, with rumbling basslines and slithery guitar washes of elegant brilliance. Once again drawing inspiration from Tibetan and Native American cultures, vocalist Faircloth leads the listener through a tangle of mystical themes while the band (guitarist Dallas Taylor, bassist Dino Paredes and drummer Thomas Pierik) skillfully blend heavy tribal rhythms and ethereal guitar, building up to moments of extreme tension. In the UK, Sounds magazine described their song \u003cem\u003eSoft Machine\u003c\/em\u003e as “a beast of a sucker,” and \u003cem\u003eCity of Millions\u003c\/em\u003e was called “a song many bands have died trying to execute.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the nine originals, \u003cem\u003eIf Tomorrow...\u003c\/em\u003e also features cover versions of Pink Floyd’s \u003cem\u003eSet The Controls For The Heart of The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e, and 13th Floor Elevators’ \u003cem\u003eRollercoaster\u003c\/em\u003e.
