The Galaxies Incredibly Sensual Transmission Field of the Tower Recordings comprises a full band expedition to an upstate New York church session around the time that songs used for the Folk Scene album were recorded. After reviewing the tapes with fellow tapenaut and TTR member Tim Barnes, Matt Valentine (MV) said The music is some of the finest TTR has ever produced, encompassing all our nodes and distilled toward a universal sound like no other that the band ever touched on. We believe you will agree. These recordings find TTR in their penultimate moment, as a full ensemble breathing alternately spicy and sweet and hazy and then twinkling. There are a lot of reference points, but we'll leave those up to you to discern. You're an adult now. We trust you. Line-Up: MV / PG Six / Helen Rush / Tim Barnes / Samara Lubelski / S. Freyer, Esq. / Andre Vida / Dean Roberts TRACK LISTING 1. Harvester 2. Giggy Garbage Gods (777) 3. Ibiza Within You 4. Empress of I-91 5. Forum 6.

***The Communion Label is pleased to present another special chapter from the ever-changing ensemble known as THE TOWER RECORDINGS. Folk Scene presents the crew (for this recording inclusive of MATT VALENTINE, P.G. SIX, HELEN RUSH, ERIKA ELDER, TIM BARNES, S. FREYER ESQ., STEVE GUBLER, ROBERT HENRY JONES III, SAMARA LUBELSKI, DEAN ROBERTS, ANDRE VIDA, and BARRY WEISBLAT) in a rarified state, a folksiche mood and sound hinted at in previous recordings (especially Siltbreeze's wondrous Furniture Music) but now developed in full blossom. Beauty and inspiration rain down like manna in these sessions, recordings both wonderfully focused and distilled, yet free. Those of us enamored of the English pagan folk rock of decades past (both electric and acoustic) will no dooubt be pleased with this enhanced collection, previous released as a limited vinyl pressing of 300 copies. An extra fourteen tracks are added to this CD version, along with completely new art and information.
