Spiderland77 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Good news for people who love good news, Audika records will repress both imo excellent Arthur Russell albums, PO date for Europe is 5th of december 2014. Grab it, as they will sell out quickly I think http://www.hhv.de/shop/en/item/arthur-russell-love-is-overtaking-me-389319 http://www.hhv.de/shop/en/item/arthur-russell-calling-out-of-context-389318 Greetings from Germany, Nils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosley Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Sorry to resuscitate an old thread, but I've recently become quite interested in Arthur Russell's music. Heard what I believed to be Another Thought in a record store recently, and subsequently listened to World of Echo. The music is pretty amazing and unique, and I'm thinking I'll be exploring more. But I'm not exactly sure what album(s) to begin with - what's my first AR album? I know that there are quite a few compilations, and I don't know that I know enough about his music. Any guidance is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentofdeath Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 World of Echo is a beast of its own and a unique album altogether - start with that. The others are more poppy, even a bit too disco for my taste, but judge for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Calling Out of Context and Another Thought are my favorites - World of Echo and Love is Overtaking Me are also great. They're all very different, it depends on what you like about his music but you really can't go wrong with any of those four. These reissues are out, by the way - I've seen them in lots of stores, picked up COoC and it sounds great. I hope these stay in print for awhile, Russell's music is too good to be as obscure as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyhambone Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Really nice repress of Another Thought is available here, http://arclighteditions.bigcartel.com/product/arthur-russell-i-another-thought-i One of my favorite collections of his releases and a good introduction without the ambient extremes of World of Echo or his super discoey stuff (as awesome as it is)...

Sidney Crosley Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks everyone. I am going to have to look for some of these - seems like most are still in print, so hopefully not so hard. Think I might start with Another Thought. I really like World of Echo, but it's also a bit of a weird one to sit through the whole album at one time.
