What you say No-one has reviewed Fires In Distant Buildings by Gravenhurst yet. Give us your opinion on Fires In Distant Buildings by Gravenhurst. What we say This record left our Clint feeling happy. Don't quite know what to make of Gravenhurst. I thought nothing of that first LP but within a few months was totally obsessed about the follow up 6 track EP thingy with the ace Husker Du song. There's a new LP/CD out this week and its a funny old bugger. The first track sounds alarmingly like Slint with dark brooding vocals. Its really atmospheric but a bit twiddly and gothy in places. Next comes the upbeat Strokes-a-like single 'The Velvet Cell' so good they've put it on the album twice which of course is entirely pointless (it returns as a 'reprise'). The third track is like Nick Drake gone electric......and on it goes.  There's some really good songs on here (in a much more electric vein than the earlier records) but it does have the feel of a good EP that has been fleshed out to album length. On Warp.

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.
