What you say No-one has reviewed Flies The Fields by Shipping News yet. Give us your opinion on Flies The Fields by Shipping News. What we say This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic. Shipping News have a new album out. Now it's been a while since I've heard any Shipping News records and I always lumped 'em into that Chicago rock scene with Shellac, June of 44, Rex etc. So I was quite looking forward to this as I'm a sucker for anything with that big sound which makes my ears grow back after hearing awful Noblesse Oblige records. This starts off with a nice Krautrocky groove ala Neu and it bimbles along with some lovely guitar work and pleasing sound instrumentation for the ear. And after hearing a few songs I can say it has lots of pretty guitars in and some nice rockier bits in for you post rock/ Chicago rock kids. I suspect this will be played later when I have more time to absorb its ample charms.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
