stars of the lid: the ballasted orchestra

vinyl version of the 2nd Stars of the Lid album is finally being reissued. The music itself shows SOTL with one of their first major transitions, from the found sound & guitar abstractions of their previous "Music for Nitrous Oxide" to a much more defined & refined compositional structure which would soon develop into the full blown miniature symphonies heard on later works. bonus: vinyl version has 9 additional minutes of material not on the CD or digital versions.
