Various Artists - Best of Soundgarden (Redux) (Various Artists) - VINYL LP

Enhance your Redux experience of Magnetic Eye Records and friends, who are respectfully paying homage to US-punk legends RAMONES and their self-titled 1976 milestone debut album with InchRamones ReduxInch, by adding even more spectacular deep cuts and classics that are offered on the companion album InchBest of Ramones ReduxInch. A host of fascinating artists and unexpected collaborations has been gathered for this most respectful tribute. With three chords and straightforward lyrics, the RAMONES embraced a stripped-down, high-energy approach that was both primal and revolutionary when it arrived in the shape of the self-titled debut album InchRamonesInch in 1976. They went on to influence some of the most recognizable rock, punk and metal bands of the next several decades, ranging from BLACK FLAG, NIRVANA, METALLICA, CIRCLE JERKS, WHITE ZOMBIE, PEARL JAM, and GUNS N' ROSES, to name just a few. The mighty MOTÖRHEAD even dedicated a song to them. The RAMONES represented and essentially encapsulated the punk underground scene that they helped create from 1974 onwards. They held true to their sound and style for decades, inspiring multiple generations, and establishing eternal cultural significance despite never achieving true commercial success themselves. The Magnetic Eye Redux Series features hand-picked classic albums from across the history of rock and metal re-imagined in their entirety from start to finish. Artists we love from within and outside the heavy rock landscape choose tracks to make their own, bringing these milestone records into the new millennium with crushing heaviness and searing energy. To date, we've produced Redux editions of PINK FLOYD's InchThe WallInch, HELMET's InchMeantimeInch, BLACK SABBATH's InchVol. 4Inch, HENDRIX's InchElectric LadylandInch, ALICE IN CHAINS' InchDirtInch, AC/DC's InchBack in BlackInch, SOUNDGARDEN's InchSuperunknownInch,

In the world of Pharaoh Overlord, little is ever as it seems. This band is less comprised of tricksters or mischief makers than fearless obsessives whose musical instincts take twisted and wild pathways. Now, fresh from forays into Italo-disco and synth-pop, they have thrown another still more mighty statement of intent into the universe. Louhi is a thunderous and majestic epic of joyful repetition and earth shaking power. A two-track minimalist-rock monolith forged from guitars, synths and hurdy-gurdy, inspired by the band's eternal touchstone influence Outside The Dream Syndicate by Tony Conrad and Faust, and constructed around a single riff and melodic idea, it builds and evolves to fearsome pinnacles of elemental intensity.Vocalist and longtime collaborator Aaron Turner (SUMAC, Isis, Old Man Gloom) and Tyneside maverick Richard Dawson were equally keen to get on board, the former taking a spontaneous and improvisatory approach to his vocal parts, and the latter largely playing a part consisting of one guitar chord. Yet whatever routes Pharaoh Overlord take to their destination, a common theme is the consciousness-warping singularity of the riff and the mantra, and the temporal disorientation this can provoke mirrors the broader designs of this record, which takes traditional folk elements and transports them in the band's singular time machine.
