About this product
No Fixed Point In Space, the third full-length album by Jack Cooper's Modern Nature, takes the palette of sound and themes that were honed on 2021's Island Of Noise and launches them into an expansive world of openness and vivid technicolour. It's a music that hasn't been heard before; as melodic as anything Cooper has produced but framed by rhythms and instrumentation that reflect the chaos, unpredictability and colour of the natural world. InchWith this record,Inch Cooper explains, InchI wanted the music to reflect nature beginnings and endings, arrivals and departures, process and chance. I wanted the music and the words to feel like roots, branches, mycelium, the intricacies of a dawn chorus, neurons firing, the unknown. The way you see or hear music in your head is abstract and magic... often more beautiful than what eventually appears on tape. When you sit down with an instrument and begin translating an idea, it quickly conforms. I've tried to develop this music without thinking in terms of set rhythms, time signatures, folk or pop structures, syntax; the devices you associate with the music world which I come from. I wanted to make music that was abstract, free and honest, whilst still being predominantly tonal and recognisably song based. It feels like time to make something that no one has heard before.Inch

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 . Beat Poetry For The Survivalist is the collaboration between Peter Buck and Luke Haines. Peter Buck was the guitarist for the biggest band in the world-R.E.M. Luke Haines was the guitarist for The Auteurs. The Auteurs were not the biggest band in the world. They were pretty good though. Luke Haines also does paintings of Lou Reed. One day, Peter Buck bought one of Luke Haines' Lou Reed paintings (for £99.00) They had never met before but decided that the fates had brought them together and they should write some songs together and make an album. Beat Poetry For The Survivalist is that album. With songs about legendary rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons, The Enfield Hauntings, (of 1978) a post-apocalyptic radio station that only plays Donovan records, Bigfoot, and Pol Pot.
When we played the music from our last album, No Fixed Point In Space, it felt like we were already pulling away from the free, open-ended approach we had spent fi ve years trying to achieve. One night during the tour at Cafe Oto in London, something clicked. Our live sets started gravitating towards rhythm and hooks.It was clear that the trio - myself, Jim and Jeff - were onto something. And then we met Tara. She and I played together at an improvised music night and, for about 45 seconds during one of the pieces, a new path became clear. So Tara joined the band.The new line-up felt alive and direct. So an approach to songwriting that had become abstract snapped into focus. I think these are the best songs I've written and the best group I've been in. The music and ideas we've always wanted to communicate are alive but we've shifted; moved into a parallel universe.

![Billy Bragg - Reaching to the Converted - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/75be141a-c12b-44ca-8229-22f92888bb60.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
As a social activist as well as a musician (solo and with bands), Billy Bragg came to prominence during the late '70's and early '80's, carrying on the tradition of the socially conscious troubadour - but with a punk-rock edge. Not simply a rarities album, but possibly one of Bragg's best-ever new releases, Reaching To The Converted gathers 17 U.K. chart singles and non-album B-sides released between 1985-97. One highlight is the previously unreleased track InchShirley,Inch featuring Johnny Marr.
