About this product

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 , the third album from the Canadian composer. ESSAYS IN IDLENESS sees him expanding his palette by narrowing his sound sources to a self-built analog synthesizer. Eschewing the whiplash and/or everything including the kitchen sink style of assembly so common among current analog aficionados, Bissonnette instead applies his signature compositional style of using long held tones and sweeping drones that alternate between, and fuse, pure tonal transcendence and patient, sparkling melodies that slowly reveal themselves.

The Yardbirds - Over Under Sideways Down: Roger The Engineer 60th Anniversary - Limited Edition - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Limited autographed edition signed by Jim McCarty. The seminal 1966 classic as a limited edition 60th anniversary set of six 7Inch singles Released in1966 as Over, Under, Sideways, Down in the U.S., and The Yardbirdsin the UK (and widely known as Roger The Engineer ever since) Over, Under, Sideways, Down was The Yardbirds'only studio album of entirely original material. Recorded in London at a moment when British R&B bands were pushing toward psychedelia, it captured the band in transition from their blues-club roots to a new, experimental sound driven byJeff Beck's groundbreaking guitar work. Songs like Over Under Sideways Down and The Nazz Are Blue mixed blues energy with distortion, Eastern scales, and unusual time signatures, defining the sound that would later feed into both hard rock and psychedelia. Beck's use of feedback, sustain, and fuzz effects gave tracks a sense of invention that influenced everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, while songs like Hot House of Omagararshid and He's Always There were full of studio experimentation courtesy of Paul Samwell-Smith's tape loops, droning guitars, and haunting harmonies. It was all delivered with the restless energy that made The Yardbirds one of Britain's most innovative mid-'60s bands and the combination of pioneering production, Keith Relf's eerie vocals, Beck's sonic daring, and the driving rhythms of Chris Dreja (rhythm guitar), Samwell-Smith (bass) and Jim McCarty (drums), madeit a milestone in rock's evolution. Critics have subsequently come to view it as the band's greatest achievement and a snapshot of that 1960s moment when pop became pop art. For it's 60th anniversary in 2026, Demon are delighted to present the album as a limited-edition box set, comprising six coloured-vinyl 7Inch singles in gatefold wallets. It includes song lyrics, contemporary photographs and artwork elements of both the original
