About this item

The much-in-demand vinyl version of the second (or third, depending on how you calculate) Stars of the Lid album, their ?rst for Kranky, is ?nally being reissued.

The original 4 track cassette recordings (yes, 4 track cassette my friends) were remastered and new lacquers were cut, and the original artwork has been updated.

The music itself shows Sotl with one of their ?rst major transitions, from the found sound and guitar abstractions of their previous Music for Nitrous Oxide to a much more de?ned and re?ned compositional structure which would soon develop into the full blown miniature symphonies heard on later works.

As an added bonus, the double LP vinyl version has 9 additional minutes of material not on the CD or digital versions.

SOTL?s ?rst major statement as a sonic force to be reckoned with is now available on the analog format once more.
