Limited 180gm heavyweight vinyl LP pressing housed in an expanded gatefold tip-on jacket. Includes booklet with track notes and archival photos. 24 bit/96 kHz re-master from original analog tapes. First official vinyl reissue in collaboration with original band members Charles Bullen and Charles Hayward. This Heat (often referred to as Blue and Yellow) is the debut studio album by English experimental rock band This Heat. Recorded between 1976 and 1978, it was released in September 1979 by record label Piano. Four decades on, the tireless efforts of This Heat's process can once again be a revelation for new audiences.
Why stuff like this never gets recognized is beyond me. If you take some of the stellar moments from Faust, drop them onto a factory floor and infuse it with a fierce kind of intelligence, you get one of the best recordings ever made. Not that This Heat compares with anything before or since. Mad and stunningly beautiful, hoarse and smooth, sparse and lush, this stuff can only be the concious recognition of an utterly unconcious music: close your eyes and see the order within the chaos.
