Tim Hecker - Ravedeath, 1972

audioblation

I finally got the vinyl and listened to it the whole way through for the first time. Holy shit, awesome!

Stunning piece of work. My favourite release of the year so far.

No Drums & Hatred of Music 1 and 2 tear my fuckin heart out. justsayin

tim hecker makes very emotional music

This album is definitely surviving the test of time for me. Absolutely love it. The transitions between each track are all simply jaw-dropping. stunning stuff.

eyyyy. Atease is like some strange parallel universe.

Sorry for the bump.. but:

Top reasons why this album is a flawed masterpiece as a vinyl record

1. In the Fog is split between sides A and B

2. Hatred of Music is split between SIDES B AND C. It takes a full record exchange to hear this piece

What gives Kranky?! Other than that, this release is still fresher than fresh

fuck vinyl

IN THE FOG AND HATRED OF MUSIC SEPARATED IN 2 SIDES EACH? NO WAYYYYYY!!!

Finn truly captures the way I feel when Hatred of Music STOPS. Because the tracks are so continuous, they didn't even break it at a reasonable point, its an arbitrary and sudden stop right in the middle of a wall of sound.

Yeah definitely, spun it the other day and noticed that. Will stick to the digital copy...

Thanks for the heads up, I have been playing with the idea of the vinyl edition but it's very expensive.

I suppose he wrote the album for cd/digital, without considering the limited time on each side of a record, rather than writing it knowing it would be pressed to vinyl (a la Stars of the Lid) where each 'suite' finishes at the end of each side.

Stars of the Lid is beautiful in vinyl.

And me. Nearly copped it last month but I'm kinda glad I didn't now. Splitting parts like that is a silly move.

I'm shamelessly derailing the thread a little bit to say that Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid and Refinement of the Decline REALLY, REALLY need to get repressed.
