hall of fame
first came love, then came the tree... lp + cdr
hall of fame's second album, originally released in 1999-somewhat deceptively entitled first came love, then came the tree . . . - fleshes out many of the themes and sounds introduced on their eponymous debut. though the quality of the recording improved immensely, this release retains the mystery surrounding their s/t release (ami 006). "little horsey rider" offers waves of gentle drone and interweaving violin lines. "vermillion" could very well have been a song written by a band living in cologne in 1973. "rival" and "vf" both recall hall of fame's trance inducing and highly percussive live sets, while "paper thin" and "lucifer" reveal a band sensitive to the traditions of the folk ballad.
now available on vinyl lp for the first time, this reissue is limited to 250 copies. we are also pleased to include with each lp a live cdr containing a 40-minute live set recorded in late 1998 at the now defunct louisville, ky-club the mercury paw. this performance captures hall of fame at their best, melding drone, folk and improvisation. a must-have for anyone interested in experimental music at the turn of the last century. |
