Best of Boiler Room Classics has the subtle, earnest warmth of an album like the Clientele’s Strange Geometry but with the arena-ready grandeur of ELO’s Out Of The Blue. While there is an unforgettable instant catchiness to these songs, there is a depth, both lyrically and musically, that makes repeated listens a delight.
On one level, the Sound Map is simple: Hyatt walks around with a backpack, a small camera, a field recorder and a shotgun microphone, and he records the sounds of the city, interviewing people he meets on his way—It's more than that, though. The idea behind the Sound Map is to use these recordings to to highlight the complexity and strangeness buried in what most of us file away as banal and everyday. By putting his recordings into a "geotagged database of moments," (the beginnings of which you can see now on his website) which he hopes will lead to, "a bigger more complete truth" about this city, something that will surprise even people who have lived here all their lives.—NUVO
This package also compiles commissioned illustrations from Nat Russell and Team Boss, Stuart, will be here on RSD with his web-based sound map and some headphones—to let you experience your own map…

the LUNA pick-of-the-moment...
Do To The Beast is the first new album by The Afghan Whigs in over a decade and a half. Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1988, the band has long stood out from its peers, with their savage blend of hard rock, classic soul, and frontman Greg Dulli's searing angst and obsessions. (Double-vinyl version plays at 45 rpm for maximum fidelity.) STOP BY THE SHOP, ON THE, 15th, PURCHASE THE LP—AND YOU'LL BE ENTERED FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A TEST PRESSING OF 'DO TO THE BEAST'!
LUNA music essentials...
Drop was recorded in a banana-ripening warehouse (no joke) with hair-farming studio warlock Chris Woodhouse playing drums; it’s also graced with the presence of talented gurus Mikal Cronin, Greer McGettrick and Casafis adding horns and vocals. The result pushes the familiar polarities of the group farther outward than ever before.

sweet vinyl gems...
Harry Nilsson – Aerial Ballet [Reissue/1968] LP (Sundazed)
"Harry Nilsson's debut album, Pandemonium Shadow Show, was notoriously loved by the Beatles, and it's easy to see why. This is the only record of its time that feels akin to Sgt. Pepper, and in some ways, it's every bit as impressive. Nilsson works on a much smaller scale, leaning heavily on whimsy yet cutting it with sardonic humor and embellishing it with remarkable song and studiocraft; it's as if McCartney and Lennon were fused into the same body. [For Aerial Ballet] it's clear that Harry Nilsson decided to pick up where he left off with his debut, offering another round of effervescent, devilishly clever pop, equal parts lite psychedelia, pretty ballads, and music hall cabaret." – AllMusic
