More Info

Neues US-Label mit neuer 12“-Serie, wo um es die akustische Darstellung von Naturkatastrophen geht. Den Anfang macht das
[LAW RAH]-COLLECTIVE aus den Niederlanden mit einer bedrohlich-dark ambienten Umsetzung des Vesuvausbruchs! Goldenes Vinyl.

“...'vesuvius' is the second vinyl release on force of nature and the first in a series, where each release will be describing a different natural disaster. both tracks are around fifteen minutes in length and created with analog sound sources only. while the first side of the 12" describes the expulsion of volcanic gasses - solfataras - poisoning the air, the second side sketches a picture of Pompeii, herculaneum, oplonti and stabiae, each hidden under 10 to 75 feet of tephra (ashes). two days of volcanic activity killed over 3300 people. the design and packaging of 'Vesuvius' is explosive itself; slightly transparent golden vinyl resembling the power of the magma hidden deep inside the earth. An ash and smoke colored cover insert designed by dominick fernow of hospital productions not only gives a brief history of the volcano; it also acts as a guardian protecting the gold of an once so prosperous city which is no more.” [label info]
