absolutely flawless - paid a silly amount for an import but utterly worth it. packaging is stunning and the pressing itself is incredible. highest recommendation for this classic of the nz undergroundreferencing Surface Of The Earth (2×LP, Reissue) TW-T
This looks, sounds and FEELS absolutely beautiful. A stunning re-issue all round.referencing Surface Of The Earth (2×LP, Reissue) TW-T
Incredible pressing, packaging, etc This album has never sounded better.- Any true noise enthusiast should own this. I’m embarrassed to say that I only recently discovered it. What I love most about it is that it’s not grating or violent. Fans of Sunn, Ben Frost, etc take note.
- Hi..I used to own this version it did come in a edition of 20with a letter from Paul toohey confirming this
- Is this a reissue? I didn't know there was ever a reissue done of the lathe cut. Thought there were only ever 20. Says edition of 30. Was there a reissue of another 10?

THESE PURVEYORS OF New Zealand's "free noise" make gloriously distinctive mind altering sounds. A symphony of field recordings merging electrical crackling, motor hum and ozone transmit employing sweeping dissonance. If the universe is expanding, then this is the sound it makes. Arc feedback in a laboratory charting the Periodic table by Tesla's coil. Sometimes late at night I swear my refrigerator motor is humming a stream of rhythmic machine noise bemoaning its servitude existence. SOTE could be that statement, and the deeper you go into this 9-song 73-plus minute journey the more complex the recordings get. No melody. No rock (guitars are unrecognizable as the instruments used to forge these sounds). Primal dirge by scientists of sound.
