Captured at their most immediate and raw, the album coined a blend of serrated guitars, dark humour, and Andrew Falkous' pointed, often absurdist lyricism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePredating later acclaim for albums such as \"Mclusky Do Dallas\" and The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire\", the debut captures the band in a more unfiltered state, volatile and direct. Tracks like \"Joy\" and \"Rice Is Nice\" hint at the precision and bite that would follow, while much of the album leans into repetition, tension and release with an almost menacing minimalism. Now, 26 years on, the album has been remastered by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios and is presented on 180g vinyl, retaining its original artwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48679242072318,"sku":null,"price":36.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1546\/6351\/files\/a2127033416_10.jpg?v=1785774440"},{"product_id":"lp-john-carpenter-cathedral-pre-order","title":"LP - John Carpenter - Cathedral (Pre-Order)","description":"\u003cp\u003e1CD - limited amethyst vinyl - released August 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Cathedral\" is the thrilling new album and terrifying graphic novel from director and musician John Carpenter, based on a dream he had in 2024. \"Cathedral\" has all the drama, dark atmosphere, and frenetic pacing of a classic heavy metal record.
