Label GB

second album from 1986 from the legendary 4ad act. An authentic cornerstone of goth, post-punk and 4AD. This is a real "album" album, the kind that builds up to a grand climax ("After The Call"). This is something more in the style of a grand opera, an atmospheric journey in the vein of a This Mortal Coil album. The characteristic 4AD production gives a sense of something existing in three dimensions, and the instrumental pieces lend a weight to the arias that's missing in the Clan's later, more clinical output. There's definitely more of a collaborative process going on behind the scenes here, and the record never drags or becomes static.
