Tom Waits - Blood Money - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

1000 LPs made. Debut album from Siv Disa, the Chinese-American New York singer currently residing in Iceland. Sky Blue 180GSM vinyl with a printed inner sleeve including song lyrics. The outer sleeve is printed uncoated high-quality card. The artwork was conceived and built by Siv Disa. It features a dreamy hand-painted dollhouse-the front image is a photograph of a tangerine sherbet living-room-in-miniature, complete with a teacup table and a glowing salt shaker lamp. The artist herself is hanging on the wall ensconced in a gilded frame overlooking the tableau. The back cover explores the same dollhouse, from a distance there's a garden in the basement, a maze of threads in the gallery, and a small ocean in the bathroom. A callback to the intricate maximalism of 70's psychedelia and Neo-art nouveau, there are layers of details embedded into each room for the viewer to discover. Dreamhouse is a wild journey through it's creator's psyches. It moves from gentle break-up songs to dark nights out in the fluorescent haze of nighttime New York and Reykjavik city filled with deep hallucinogenic beats... before it finally closes on a song infused with the isolation of 2020. The first part of Dreamhouse was recorded in upstate New York with collaborator and producer Sam and the sea, they both chose to relocate when the pandemic hit the US - and regrouped at a studio cabin in the wilderness to complete Dreamhouse and take time to escape the ensuing storm we all faced. It's important to understand, whilst a product finalised during lockdown - this album was largely conceived way before the lockdown or pandemic, this is Siv Disa's debut album and it was always going to be luminous and otherworldly, as with it's creators.

Digitally remastered edition. 2023 Marks forty years since Tom Waits released Swordfishtrombones, ushering in a new and critically acclaimed musical era for Waits and his longtime songwriting and production partner, Brennan. Waits went from '70's-era Inchbluesy, boozyInch wordsmith and melodist with seven albums behind him to sound sculptor, miner of the subconscious, abstract orchestrator, sonic cubist-while retaining his innate lyricism, melodic invention, humanity. As he put it in a 1983 interview InchI tried to listen to the noise in my head and invent some junkyard orchestral deviation-a mutant apparatus to drive this noise into a wreck collection.Inch It's a Waits-arranged pastiche, a variety of atmospheres from different sound planets. There is the warped, marching-army-ants music of InchUnderground,Inch an impressionist chant about people living below cities, but there was also the poignancy of the spare piano ballad, InchSoldier's Things,Inch the good bar yarn, InchFrank's Wild YearsInch, the tender, minimalist paean to Waits' wife and muse, Kathleen, InchJohnsburg, Illinois,Inch and the raggedy anthem to neighborhood chaos, InchIn the Neighborhood.Inch The album is newly remastered for the first time ever from the original EQ'ed ½Inch production master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering under the guidance of Waits' longtime audio engineer, Karl Derfler. The album packaging has also been restored.

The album features David Hidalgo, Les Claypool, Brain and Keith Richards and won a GRAMMY for Best Alternative Music Album. Bone Machine is rather pointedly otherworldly... another edge pusher - his most poetically and sonically daring work yet. Writing again with his longtime collaborator and wife, Kathleen Brennan, Waits acknowledges writing 'darker' material saying InchA great many songs live there, so that's where I've been digging lately.Inch Newly remastered for the first time ever from the original ½Inch flat master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan.
