Catherine Watine – GÉOMÉTRIES SOUS-CUTANÉES Deluxe Vinyl Version – SOLD OUT!

Sold Out!

A world apart from the contemporary musical scene, this album owes as much to Gabriel Faure as it does to the Bristol scene. Exhibiting both uniquely original progressive rock allusions and obsessive electronic repetitions, it feels both familiar yet very new. Come embark upon this urban, electronically infused post-pop voyage…it will set you on a course through uncharted soundscapes, and you will have no wish to come ashore!

With this wonderfully diverse album Watine takes us on a wide ranging voyage through densely electronic analog textures, cinemascopic toy orchestrations, and delicately fragile instrumental nuances into a mysterious world that has it’s origins in musique concrete and radiophonic pop classicism. Echoes of upbeat urban soundscapes merge with darker pastoral and baroque meanderings into a robust blend that can only be consumed by those with tastes both as diverse and nuanced as those being expressed here at length in this uniquely multi sensorial celebration.

For the limited edition version we have created an amazingly appropriate, deluxe, boxed and slip cased package for Catherine that we are most pleased with! Each of these unique beauties, in an edition of only 60 copies, comes in the form of re-purposed, 50 year old “Great Men Of Music” classical music box set…from the Time Life series of that name. Where were the Women composers when this series was released? Women composers in general were highly neglected in the world of classical music in particular of course…so sadly there weren’t any women included in this original series of 40 artist’s or so. Therefore we have taken pains with this release to rectify that unfortunate situation! Vive the Great Women Of Music!

Each 13”x13”x1” heavy duty slip case box comes covered on the front with an archival, and high resolution image taken from the standard version cover artwork by Caroline Lysiak. These are printed on the highest quality heavy-weight archival Moab, Rag Natural papers, and each is then supplemented with individually and abstractly sewn thread in guise of flowing hair. The reverse side and spine of each box is covered in a uniquely different, elegant vintage wallpaper. The inner slip case of each box is covered on both sides with vintage photographic prints of exotic sea shells, which are then supplemented with bits of the outer wallpapers found on each particular box. Inside each box the two individually sleeved records, one beige and one white, come in a sewn, golden fabric bag with fold down flap. There is a large, hand printed and stamped insert on the same papers, that is also threaded for easy removal from the box! After being wrapped in a wallpaper obi strip, each box comes in an archival, protective, outer mylar sleeve.

Please remember! These are 50+ year old re-purposed boxes...although they are in very good condition overall, they are not new. Some have slight scuffs, blemishes, scrapes and other natural occurrences due to their age.

There is also a beautiful, standard 2 record version of this release in printed jacket…as well as a digital version.

This release will ship by mid March 2019.
