Bruce Soord - Ghosts In The Park - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Pineapple Thief - Far and Wide / On their sixteenth studio album, Far And Wide, The Pineapple Thief feel more like a rock band than ever. Still progressive. Still masters of spine-tingling atmosphere. Still attuned to the strange, troubled world around us. And now, a decade and seven albums on from the arrival of Gavin Harrison on drums - they capture the chemistry, road miles and bigger stages of the last few years.

Lost and Found, The Best of Tracks II is a Blu-spec CD2 by Bruce Springsteen that serves as a one CD highlight edition featuring 20 carefully selected tracks from the unprecedented deluxe box set TRACKS II The Lost Albums, which contains seven completely unreleased albums created between 1983 and 2018 and a total of 83 previously unheard songs, and like the 18 TRACKS highlight disc released alongside the original TRACKS box set in 1998, this collection is filled with remarkably high quality songs that make one wonder why they were never released or issued as singles, clearly standing apart from typical archives of unreleased material and offering an extraordinary alternate journey through the artistic path Bruce Springsteen has taken, complete with liner notes, lyrics, and Japanese translations.

This is audible on their early full-length InchHomes & GardensInch (1993), but it did not take Haujobb long to become themselves regarded as figureheads of a modern electronic industrial sound.

After Haujobb became a duo, they continued to have a strong impact and in particular their 2011 self-released album InchNew World MarchInch is widely regarded as another milestone. With InchThe Machine in the GhostInch, Haujobb have created another exciting chapter in their remarkable career.
