More Info "From The Archives: Like most of Keith Berry's nuanced compositions, "The Ear That Was Sold to a Fish" has long been under-appreciated and overlooked in favor of recordings that are more brazen and domineering. And that's a shame. Originally released on Jon Mueller's Crouton Records in 2005 and reissued by Infraction two years ago, Keith Berry's "The Ear That Was Sold To a Fish" is a meticulously crafted opus of textural richness and deliberate pacing that occupies a wide frequency range, each tuned specifically to its surroundings. The album's nine pieces take on a tactile, Philip Jeck-like appearance with a sharp patina of decay and natural crests and valleys. While incredibly detailed and based on microtonal interactions, the real triumph of "The Ear That was Sold to a Fish" is the larger overarching structure that feels immaculately graceful, keenly studied, and infinitely rewarding to repeated listens. – Ryan Potts, Experimedia One of the best and most intriguing ambient recordings of the last decade. And yet another reissue - sort of. 'The Ear...' was originally release on the now-defunct Crouton label in 2005. It was packaged in a small kraft paper wrapped box with small violet & blue leaves in an edition of 300 copies. It subsequently went out-of-print. Infraction is now reissuing a remastered version of 'The Ear...' along with a previously unreleased full-length 'Turn Right a Thousand Feet From Here' as a 2xCD set (not to be confused with a prev. issued recording 'turn left a thousand feet from here' on Twenty Hertz as a bonus CDR). Each disc will be packaged in a matte envelope and then housed in a Stoughton Printing mini-lp gatefold cardboard sleeve." [label info] www.infractionrecords.com
