Spirit of the Beehive - Pleasure Suck - VINYL LP

Son Lux returns with Out Into, their first studio album since being nominated for two Oscars and a BAFTA for their work on A24's Everything Everywhere All at Once and scoring Marvel's Thunderbolts*. Propulsive, urgent, raw, and vulnerable, the album strives to question assumptions about how music is made and construct their own from a molecular level, cultivating a musical language rooted in curiosity and balancing opposites. Over two decades, the band has released numerous recordings marked by raw emotional intimacy and meticulous electronic constructions. They have performed at major venues and festivals globally, and will embark on a world tour supporting the new album.

Presenting the HIT singles 'You're Gonna Miss Me' and 'Reverberation'InchThis ground-breaking album not only defined psychedelic rock but informed punk a decade later, influencing everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Cramps. Originally issued in November 1966, this album has not only continued to gain importance but also world-wide recognition as the first bona fide psychedelic rock album.This is a facsimile edition of the original mono mix, a faithful reproduction of what was pressed in 1966. It represents the authentic sound and TRANSFORMATIVE POWER of The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators.The mono pressing is highly prized for it's uncompromising solid-sounding mix. Meticulous attention to detail has gone into this reissue and the digitisation to make sure every detailed nuance was preserved. A 96KHZ-24bit pass, using a valve signal at minus ten decibels (to eliminate turntable rumble), was conducted several times in order to gauge the best results. No attempt was made to rebalance or EQ. A half speed master was then cut at AIR Mastering and a test pressing was then dubbed using the same process and the dynamic range compared against the original pressing. The result was a better sound pressing than the original!

Vinyl LP pressing. Instrumental album from 1983! The band's 4th LP, finally back on vinyl! Having endured no less than three long-players and a brace of singles featuring the caterwauling of Messrs Hampshire and Childish, The Milkshakes' audience figured it might be time for an instrumental outing. In response the group gave them just that. But this was to be no run-of-the-mill effort - no Dick Dale-esque surf marathons or Shadowsy twangers are apparent here. These tunes are more 'rhythm-and-mood'-based compositions; occasionally leaning more towards the Link Wray end of the spectrum - as you would probably expect. This IVth album (hence the name) was recorded in 1983 at Oakwood Studios - as were all previous releases - but this was the first in their new facilities in a converted church near Canterbury, which opened up a whole new golden vista of shimmering, silvery sounds in atmospheric conditions. Of course, The Milkshakes were having none of that. We suggest you plonk the wax on your gramophone and let whatever happens happens. Hasty bananas.
