Lithics - Tower Of Age - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Mating Surfaces is the second full length from Portland, Oregon's Lithics. Twelve tightly wound fragments of brittle abstract twin guitar, impellent rhythm, and absurd, imagistic lyricism.

Vinyl LP pressing. The 1982 album by Andy Summers and Robert Fripp, newly mixed by David Singleton in 2024. Includes 2 previously unreleased tracks 'Skyline' and 'Entropy Pulse'. 200-gram audiophile vinyl, New 2024 stereo mix by David Singleton. Cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering. Having crossed paths briefly in the '60s in Bournemouth where Fripp took over Andy's guitar chair in the band at Bournemouth's Majestic Hotel, it wasn't until 1981 - when Summers wrote to Fripp - that the two guitarists would work together. With a very different sounding 1980s King Crimson lineup on tour and The Police's status as one of the biggest acts in the world, it's unsurprising that an album of guitar duets from Sumeers/Fripp - despite being as far apart from the concept of 'guitar hero' playing as possible to imagine, proved intriguing enough to spend several weeks in the US Billboard 200 charts.

Robert Nighthawk, also known during the early years of his career by the name of Robert Lee McCoy, as well as other pseudonyms like Ramblin' Bob and Peetie's Boy, was a blues slide guitarist, singer and songwriter whose influence far outweighs the recognition and visibility his recordings have enjoyed in subsequent decades. Born in Arkansas, he was an itinerant musician, working in Memphis and St. Louis, before doing his first recordings for Bluebird in 1937 in Chicago, and continued his rambling lifestyle during what was a fitful recording career over the next fifteen years. Having recorded initially for Bluebird with Sonny Boy Williamson I (the original InchSonny BoyInch) as Robert Lee McCoy and Ramblin' Bob, he recorded in 1940 for Decca under the name Peetie's Boy, and during the late '40s for Aristocrat and it's later guise as Chess under the name Robert Nighthawk, taking the name from the best-known title from his first sessions InchProwlin' NighthawkInch. His final recordings during this era were in 1951 and '52 for the United and States labels. He was rediscovered during the '60s and enjoyed a brief revival before his death in 1967. This great-value 48-track 2-CD set comprises the main body of his significant recorded output under his own names, with noted performers like Speckled Red, Willie Dixon, Ernest Lane, Pinetop Smith and Ransom Knowling featured on his sessions, and is a showcase for the intense bottleneck style he developed as he made the transition from acoustic to electric guitar which charted the way for the likes of Elmore James and others, for whom he was a significant influence.
