Keith Fullerton Whitman

2013 repress, originally released in 2004 "first of two lp-only releases on kranky; this one features some of my favorite archival material, over which i labored some time ago, then again for some time late last year... on one hand i love theses pieces dearly and listen to them often, but on the other i didn’t want to seem like i was eschewing computer music altogether for a more “organic” route (couldn’t be further from the truth). i came very close to doing a 300 copy lo-fi lp of this material until the kind souls at kranky heard it and offered to do a proper release. and now that it’s done and out, i couldn’t be happier.

an aside: i didn’t realize until very recently that i’d broken a cardinal rule in the kranky design-spec when i laid out this lp... it is in fact a sin to put a photo of a musician’s face anywhere on a piece of kranky produkt...
