This is the realio dealio! This here a physical copy of "speak", our debut album out on Origin Records. Believe it or not, the whole thing is self-written, recorded and produced. The disc itself comes in a super-sexy limited edition four-panel wallet manufactured by Stumptown Printers in Portland, OR. It's an authentic Northwest export, to be sure. As you may have guessed, this baby is also self-shipped (by yours truly), so please allow a little bit of time for your order to be processed (meaning that it might take us a day or so to buy the bubbly wrap and walk the things over to the post office). We're kind of a pint-sized operation here at speak, but we'll be sure to get your CD to you as quickly as possible.
Also: When you purchase the CD, the price includes an immediate download of our album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire. Sheeeiiit!
Leaps of Faith definitely has an early Krautrock feel (as in early Ash Ra Tempel, specifically). I am reminded of the films Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Apocalypse Now when listening to this - which, though horrifying at times, are two incredible films to have in mind. Christopher Moklebust
Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
Linda playing and directing this great composition in collaborating with these great musicians is such a colorful musical adventure for my ears & eyes, Thank you! 1bigfan
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
