Animosity reissue!

Daniel Crommie's 1988 experimental ambient album "Animosity" will be available for download and streaming after Tuesday, October 29th at iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, etc. 10 tracks recorded in 1987-1988 and originally released on cassette (the original cassettes have become somewhat collectable, and are now sold out at Band Camp) - this collection contains some of the more unusual musical pieces - including a Medieval troubadour poem set to modern accompaniment. 


"There Once Was A City" hits home like a less exuberant and decidedly down in the mouth OMD, until the spoken vocal which utilizes words written by Peire Cardenal in the 13th century adds an eerie and remote atmosphere. However "Still Life" is the album's shock moment, the quiet, almost ambient ringing chimes overtly opposed to the modern (for the time) electronics found elsewhere, its slow beautiful sprawl genuinely ear catching, beautiful, out of place and wonderful." - Sea of Tranquility


This is already available at Band Camp for download with a printable PDF poster.
