Exclusive Clouds Hill edition - remastered for black vinyl using the original mixes

(3 LPs - side F etched vinyl)

A considerably more complex and ambitious album than its predecessor – four of its five tracks lasted over ten minutes in length – FRANCES THE MUTE wasn’t recorded “live” by an ensemble, but with the individual musicians recording the parts Omar had scripted for them separately. Being much more than just a ‘DE-LOUSED Part Two’, the album thrills with its lush sound, the depth of detail, breadth of instrumentation and its fevered intensity.

TRACK LIST:

1. Cygnus....Vismund Cygnus
2. The Widow
3. L' Via L' Viaquez
4. Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore
