Tom Smith / V/A feat. Pussy Galore – Ruine 1974-2014 (2xCD, GERMANY)

nb. See below for full tracklist.

“One hundred and ninety-two extracts spanning 40 years of the (anti-)musical career of the famed Protestant cemetery, from 1974’s Sharecroppers (recorded at age 17) to a 2014 live piece by Smith’s current solo project T/SMS. Each year is represented by 180 seconds of sound, with each disc’s 90-second fragments distributed within the mix via custom algorithm. Selection, editing, mix and production by TS. This release is one in a continuing series exploring the depth of Tom’s extraordinarily expansive archive (not idle hyperbole – there are thousands of recordings stretching back to the early 70s, only a handful of which have been lost), leading to a more traditional (chronological) anthology.”
