Arthur Russell - Another Thought 2xLP

[AlexH.]

If you don't know who Arthur Russell is, basically he's a guy that dabbled in electronic, disco, ambient, classical, hip-hop and conventional singer/songwriter type stuff in the 80s and early 90s. He died in 1992 and left hundreds of tape reels and DAT tapes worth of music, so most of his material has been released posthumously, and every collection is different than the others. This album is made up of some very experimental minimalist recordings consisting mostly of just cello and vocals, with lots of reverb and delay. Basically the dopest shit ever, one of my favorite albums, and it just got issued on vinyl for the first time:

 

Cheapest I was able to find stateside is from Experimedia. Roughly $30 ppd, well worth it considering how quick his stuff goes out of print:

Also if anyone has a copy of Calling Out of Context, Love is Overtaking Me, or World of Echo that they want to sell me, drop me a line, I've got Christmas money.

Thanks for posting this. I would really love to find a copy of "Calling out of Context" as well because I don't see that getting a repress any time soon.
