About this product
In 2003, The Coleman Center, an Alabama non-profit arts organization, welcomed Stuart Hyatt as an artist-musician in residence. The center, which encourages and supports projects that engage and reflect the unique surrounding community, invited Hyatt to explore local music.Four weeks later, he emerged with The Clouds.Hyatt, reckoning with the notion of mortality, had written and recorded songs with a variety of local citizens, social groups, and schoolchildren.The result is a record that is plainly, if not stylistically, Americana - a patchwork of voices sown together by some simple songs about the one thing we all experience.The original was super DIY - Hyatt's grandparents helped him assemble the packaging, which also somehow managed to score a Grammy nomination in the category. A copy of the CD somehow wound up in the DFA offices, where it was shared and beloved but still sat until 2020, when we decided it may finally be worth trying to re- on vinyl.That process took two years and an insane attention to detail, but the final product is part and parcel with the original project - a unique document of a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration.

Released in 1969, Clouds debut The Clouds Scrapbook showcases the band's distinctive organ-driven sound, which was a precursor to the styles of later prog-rock icons like Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes. Billy Ritchie, the band's organist, was particularly influential, being one of the first to take a prominent, standing role as a keyboardist, setting a precedent for future musicians in the genreThe album received critical acclaim upon , with Melody Maker naming it InchAlbum of the MonthInch in September 1969. Despite it's initial success, the band struggled with commercial recognition, and their innovative approach was not widely appreciated at the time.

The newly remastered version of Scrapbook offers a fresh opportunity for new audiences to experience this seminal work. The remastering process has enhanced the album's sound quality, bringing out the nuances of the band's arrangements. Chrysalis Reserve is a new series offering a deep dive into the forgotten corners of our catalogue.

In 2009 instrumental rock music experienced a new peak. Codes in the Clouds, the English quintet of Ciaran Morahan, Stephen Peeling, Jack Major, Joe Power and Robert Smith had found a firm place in this vast growing scene. With their harmonious and blissful sound they weaved guitar melodies, liable to explode any minute. If you still can't imagine intense music without vocals then you will be surprised how easily they will let you forget this prejudice. Energetic and charming at once, surprising and unpredictable at all times.Completed under the experienced eye of Justin Lockey (The Editors, Yourcodenameis Milo, The British Expeditionary Force), CITC's debut album 'Paper Canyon' was originally released in June 2009. Ten years later, June 8th2019 will see a first vinyl edition of this instrumental rock classic to celebrate it's 10thanniversary, with the master cut by legendary engineer Barry Grint (Radiohead, Oasis, Kate Bush) at Alchemy, London.1.
