Description

Black Vinyl, gatefold sleeve, DL card.
1000 copies only worldwide.

A Deluxe remastered edition of Giant Sands 1991 album Ramp with a second disc featuring the Mad Dog sessions from earlier that same year.

Convertinos brush-work and Burns upright bass provide the perfect foundation for Gelbs parched voice and chaotic guitar, and guests include Rainer, Victoria Williams and country veteran Pappy Allen. Its one of Giant Sands strongest and most complete albums. The Quietus

Featuring piano lounge music for an off-world colony interrupted by an onslaught of guitar when needed, its light and dark and the better for it, a musical journey on a road less travelled. With Gelbs lyrical invention to the fore:
His thoughts unfold in long, rolling sentences that dont always follow conventional rules of grammar or syntax. The Quietus // The Tucson sound at it very best.
