september 2011 release ; cd version ...

... love peter’s “write the press release while completely pissed” style (“its game of 2 sides of courrse, with side one chocabloc a short hitswft does that even mean) but regardless, yes, this does see mark taking a moreproduced” approach to bedroom guitar histrionics, with said cut with more fleshed-out layerings of electric-guitar sound (as opposed to doing everything in real-time, which i believe has been his modus up until now) ...

this album is dedicated to my family, friends, and the spirit of the summer night sky

and yet another killer album from the ever productive mark mcguire. it just keeps getring better, as he delivers another fine set of tunes in his perfected style. a few more electronic elements than usual and even some voices., but still the unique blend feell good riffs, electric and acoustic loops and melodies that just stick in the head.

its game of 2 sides of courrse, with side one chocabloc a short hits with side two stretcning to one side long jam of blissed out mcguire ambience. awesome.

... as many of the original issues of this music were out of reach (even to insiders like myself ; i haven’t heard of half of these !!!) this comes at the perfect juncture in the perfect form ; even those who somehow managed to grip the home-dupes will be impressed at the improved sound (all tracks re-mastered by marcus schmickler) ...

october 2010 release ; ... a most unusual release for (e)mego, sure, but given emeraldsdominance of markets both foreign & domestic over the past few years, it makes perfect sense for the various memberssolo transgressions to also find a home therein (see john’s curation of sub-label spectrum spools as well) ...

... much of this follows mark’s impeccable command of laminar trajectories, applied to the multi-echobedroomguitar spec ; i.e. followers of said will be in familiar territory for all but the closing track, wherein mark not only works some heavily emotive found-audio materials, but some high-test drum-kit bash (courtesy of old-school cleveland chum nate scheible, who’s played with mark a bunch of times dating back to 2007, even providing emeralds’ in-house imprint wagon with a solo guitar disc of his own) ...

emego 107 / mark mcguire
living with yourself
cd

electric and acoustic guitar recorded february - september 2009 cleveland and westlake, ohio by mark mcguire.
percussion on "brothers" performed and recorded november 2008 at zombie proof studios, cleveland, ohio by nate scheible. tape samples recorded 1991 - 1998 by mark mcguire sr., jr. edited and arranged by mark mcguire 2009. mastered by james plotkin, july 2010. cut at dubplates & mastering, berlin, july 22nd 2010. layout by mike pollard and mark mcguire.

mark mcguire operates chiefly as guitarist in the legendary emeralds., however he also has racked up an impressive set of solo releases over the last few years (albeit mainly in small to micro print runs).

living with yourself is his new album and we at editions mego hope to meet any demand which may arise from this fine selection of modern crafted guitar tunes. focusing on his family, early friendships and the problems that inevitably develop through years of knowing someone, it takes mcguire’s sound even further out, and contains some his most accomplished songs to date.

the opening track is fine example of mcguire’s magic technique of taking a lone acoustic guitar then transforming the track into bliss-out electro wash looping off into the distance. and tracks like ‘clouds rolling in’ and ‘brain storm’ take off where such mcguire classics as ‘the marfa lights(which incidentally is planned for a future reissue) left off. while connoisseurs of his sound will find all they desire in here, many superb surprises await around every corner. these are songs that cruise, bubble and rise to the top.

available as lp vinyl and cd in digipack.

  • at first sight
  • vitamins
  • second thoughts

  • front porch breeze
  • burning leaves
october 2009 release ; don’t let the title fool you (as it did me) ... mark doesn’t so much drop his version of the takoma sound here inasmuch as offer a solo variant on the echoplexed guitar styles that he uses when anchoring emeralds’ time-space drift (think “e2-e4” with a bit more in the way of modal development) ... only here fretted on what sounds like an ovation run through an arsenal of time-based effects & layers upon layers of overdubbed & multi-tracked parts ...

much more linear & melodic than emeralds ever gets, just a hair away from mid-period popol vuh in it’s tonality and/or approach ... nice stuff !!!

may 2010 release ; perfect timing on this gorgeous, gatefold double lp (w/ printed inner-sleeves no less) reissue of mark mcguire’s 2nd & 4th (respectively) solo outings for emeralds in-house label wagon ...

personally speaking, i take “amethyst waves” as one of mark’s high-water moments ; that it’s being given the “boutique” treatment here is great news all around ... anyone that has a porch, sits on said porch contemplating the future ; this is for you ...highly recommended !!!
weird forest press release...

mark mcguire tidings / amesthyst waves 2xlp

trying to put the last 15 years of music into context, you’d be hard pressed to get anyone to agree on a single thing. if anything, this period has been a collective convergence of all things cool-sounding: naïve experimentalism, academic composition, art-rock synthesis, electronic nihilism/flagellation, and, well, everything else. mark mcguire could muddy anyone’s interpretation of the contemporary canon with his buddies in the triadic mega-unit, emeralds, his collaborative outings in sun watcher and skyramps (with danieloneohtrix point neverlopatin), and his prolific, yet well-executed, solo work. ”have you heard his shredability, incomprehensible astral traveling and meditative neutron stasis on any of those solo jams, the dude must be ancient!?” truth is, mark mcguire is a youngin’, not a refugee of the 70s. nor is he mining unfamiliar territory; he produces something old and familiar, yet it sounds so fresh and necessary for today.

originally released as limited edition cassettes and masterfully cleaned up for this definitive release by james plotkin, tidings/amethyst waves finds mcguire packing 60+ minutes with trance-inducing, melodic guitar intricacies, an occasional wall-of-squall reminiscent of mizutani riding a thunder horse, and filaments of a drifting stratosphere where organic synthed-out solos are nestled in tight. with this release, mark mcguire has hatched a true american euro-vision utilizing major shifts in the ‘music as language’ paradigm. no joke, this is where wyld stallyns is heading in the year 2398 a.g. and tidings/amethyst waves is as essential as anything in the emeralds catalog.

package boasts photography by mark mcguire, with design by aaron winters.
edition of 1000 in stoughton, tip-on gatefolds and printed inner sleeves..
