Real Gone Music US Vinilo y CD

Review: Tom Verlaine stands as a true original among guitarists, with a style so distinctive that his solos are instantly recognizable. His self-taught, jazz-influenced approach, characterized by a lack of effects and a mesmerizing vibrato tone, sets him apart. His songwriting prowess further solidifies his status as a legend. Real Gone Music is presenting his last three solo albums on LP, including 2006's Around. This album follows the remarkable Warm and Cool, featuring stunning instrumentals that range from raga-esque explorations to post-rock vamps and abstract sketches. With old Television band-mate Billy Ficca on drums and Patrick Derivaz's new mastering for vinyl, Around is a testament to Verlaine's timeless talent. Jutta Koether's notes in the insert add a personal touch to this exceptional release.

Review: Verlaine's distinct, self-taught style, with its jazz influences and unmistakable vibrato tone, shines throughout this album. Songs and Other Things marks his return to lyrics and vocals, with standout tracks like 'Nice Actress' and 'The Earth Is in the Sky.' The album opens with 'A Parade in Littleton,' a funky instrumental reminiscent of late Talking Heads. Supported by Fred Smith of Television and Jay Dee Daugherty of The Patti Smith Group, Verlaine's guitar work is the centerpiece of this collection. His enigmatic lyrics prompt reflection and resonate on an intuitive level, enhancing the album's appeal. The vinyl debut is mastered by Patrick Derivaz, the original engineer and bassist, ensuring high-quality sound. The teal vinyl pressing and accompanying notes by Verlaine's long-time partner Jutta Koether make this bundle a treat for fans and collectors.

Review: Tom Verlaine's seventh solo album, Warm And Cool, released in 1992, showcased his mastery of the electric guitar in an entirely instrumental setting. Best known as the frontman of NYC-based art punk pioneers Television, Verlaine's self-taught, jazz-influenced style and unmistakable vibrato tone shine throughout this album. Featuring former bandmate Billy Ficca on drums, Warm And Cool explores a diverse range of styles, from rock and jazz to country and surf rock. Verlaine's guitar work is original and with each solo bearing his distinctive musical fingerprint. Real Gone Music's vinyl release of Warm And Cool marks the first time the album has been available on vinyl in the U.S. The fresh mastering by Patrick Derivaz, a longtime collaborator of Verlaine's who also contributed bass to the album, brings new life to the 14 compositions.
