Guided by Voices - Motivational Jumpsuit - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Propeller was the fifth album by Guided by Voices, and was intended to be the group's last. Released as a limited edition of 500 LPs in 1992, the album featured handmade covers and blank labels to keep expenses as low as possible. Their other albums hadn't sold much, why would this one? Robert Pollard had a family to support and his musical aspirations had not exactly been a boon to their bank account.As fate would have it, the band wound up releasing an album chock full of gems Pollard had stockpiled, and for the first time sounded distinctly like the band that fans have since come to love. Propeller also marks the return of Tobin Sprout to the GBV fold, along with an increased songwriting presence. From anthem-to-be InchOver the NeptuneInch to the effortless melodies of closer InchOn the Tundra,Inch Propeller is a hell of a ride, and remains one of the most important albums in the band's discography.The vinyl edition has been out of print for a decade, and features different cover art than previous pressings. The CD edition has been out of print for a minute as well, and is now housed in digipak , also with a new, unique cover from one of the original pressings. And for the first time Propeller is available on cassette.

Vinyl LP pressing. Tears Run Rings is a long-distance relationship. In another life, these old friends were in the breezy, mid-90's indie pop combo The Autocollants, and founded the renowned indie tag Shelflife Records. Now, separated by the cities of Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, they collaborate through the magic of the internet. The band records in three separate studios, transferring tracks back and forth over the wires until they are perfect. In Surges, their third album, has been six years in the making. Over that time span, the band met up on several occasions to write, record, and mix the album together, in between starting families and recording separately. Full of rich guitars, haunting melodies, and layered, shimmering vocals, In Surges picks up where Distance left off.
