number four of four. the latest born of osiris record from
2013. i heard news of this album through a promo sticker i got together with an
u.s.-order via discogs. i don't remember which record it was but i do remember
that i said to myself to check out 'tomorrow we die alive'. in the end i didn't
and so i bought this record all unprepared. i believe there was only one colour
option available from the label, and so this choice was an easy one. though i
didn't have any choice when byuing it at discogs anyway.
again the look of this baby is pretty nice all around. the
cover art is what i expected from these chicago guys. looks very futuristic.
the album however wasn't going to sink its talons into me by the first listens.
this seems to be the common procedure with born of osiris records and me. it
needed time. and the first time i really thought: 'man, that's pretty good
stuff', was on a hour long drive on the highway while it was night and raining.
the surrounding seemed pretty alien with all the car lights and the blurred
vision caused by the rain. a fitting setting for the music.
maybe that was all it needed.
the right time and place. ok, let's not get too philosophical. the album is great
but cannot beat 'the discovery', but that's just my personal opinon and not
important by all means. check out 'mindful' and 'illusionist' and then go
and get a copy! again i don't know how many of these babies are floating
around. not much of these show up on ebay so i think the amount can't be too
high. marbled dark blue vinyl. sumerian records. 2013.
