Mixing the New Music transcendence of the likes of Arvo Part and Gorecki with the sublime and rarified atmospheric territory of Talk Talk,
AR Kane and Cocteau Twins, 'Speak' contains tracks dating from the very earliest years of the band (1988-89). An album of densely organic soundscapes, quiet ambition
and heartfelt emotionalism, 'Speak' is that rare thing - a work of
genuine beauty and substance. Steven and Tim regard it as being amongst their finest work.
The vinyl edition is a lavish single LP edition of 'Speak' in a limited edition of 1,000 copies. The first 500 copies are pressed on 180-gram marbled vinyl in a gatefold picture sleeve (with a bonus 12-inch vinyl single featuring The Hidden Art Of Man Ray). The second 500 copies are pressed on 180-gram black vinyl. Both versions are packed in a gatefold picture sleeve designed by Carl Glover. |
