Labradford - Prazision LP (1993)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Labradford - E Luxo So (1999)

Hey kids! Guess what time it is! That's right: it's fucking late! You know what that means! It's time to stare down the void and see if it stares back, this time with help from Labradford. Evocative, slow-burning drone and dark, minimal post-rock. Listening to Prazision LP is akin to that feeling you get when you're exploring a dimly-lit alien planet after having crash-landed, slowly growing accustomed to the notion that you're never going to be able to return to your home planet and will die alone in a beautiful but barren expanse.

Track listing:
1. Listening in Depth
2. Accelerating on a Smoother Road
3. Splash Down
4. Disremembering
5. Experience the Gated Oscillator
6. Soft Return
7. Sliding Glass
8. C. of People
9. New Listening
10. Gratitude
11. Skyward with Motion
12. Everlast

Freeze time

  3. AH! My favorite album from the 90s. Became something of a soundtrack for driving around deep wooded roads on full-moon nights. If you please, I'd like to make a recomendation. If you like The "Prazision Lp", Mark Nelson, Labradford's singer has a side project: Pan American. Check out "The River made No Sound". A more minimal album but with a some haunting and inventive, electronic beats and sounds. It'll transport you to dreams beyond the clouds. Thanks dude. I still check your blog daily. I'm one of your watchers in the woods...zogaddams

    1. Thanks zogaddams. Really appreciate the recommendation. I am indeed familiar with Pan American and that album in particular, maybe I'll do a post on it. Cheers!
