Yeah, the Seaman and The Tattered Sail album is excellent. And the 10 hour digital version is a particularly great deal for £6.
Bill Seaman's f(noir) is an equally wonderful ambient work, although obv more concise: http://eileanrec.bandcamp.com/album/f-noir

I'm loving that Man With A Tape Recorder mix.

Who is the Seaman and The Tattered Sail?
Not that I really mind, 'Hood related' has been enough for me to part with six quid.
― écorché (S-), Friday, 24 July 2015 04:55 (eight years ago) link
Bill Seaman and Craig Tattersall (who played on some of the mid-period Hood recordings.) Not particularly Hood-related soundwise but as ambient recordings, it's an exceptional release.
― doug watson, Friday, 24 July 2015 12:57 (eight years ago) link
It certainly is! Thanks
― écorché (S-), Saturday, 25 July 2015 07:49 (eight years ago) link
^ Tatterall plays in "the classic Hood line-up".
Anyway, you all know about the new/old Hood 7", yes?
― djh, Friday, 23 October 2015 22:44 (eight years ago) link
No. Is it still available?

"The Cycle of Days and Seasons" season, innit?
― djh, Sunday, 1 November 2015 18:16 (eight years ago) link
earlier... much earlier. a version of the track appears on 'cabled linear...'
― écorché (S-), Thursday, 5 November 2015 02:53 (eight years ago) link
No, I mean *now* is "The Cycles of Days and Seasons" season (not the 7").

Today's Darla Records update said that they'll have the British Radars 7" coming in, if anyone is looking for it.

^^^ I did, it's great. Liking the long-form nature of the songs as compared to 'We Know About The Need'

Have pulled "The Cycle of Days and Seasons" off the shelf. This is unusually early in the year.
(Y'all know that there's a short vinyl run of this and "Rustic Houses" available at Norman Records?)
― djh, Monday, 21 August 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link
That is early indeed :) Can relate though, played it in the car a couple of times last week. Didn't think it'd be a good car album at all, but it's Hood, so, yeah.
The new vinyl run is only 250 per right? Good on them. God how I wished they'd make a new album.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 21 August 2017 21:12 (six years ago) link
I have no self control so picked up both of those vinyl re-issues, they're really good. Two albums I've always kind of overlooked because they are not 'Cold House', an album i deeply love.
― michaellambert, Monday, 21 August 2017 21:38 (six years ago) link
once on a long car ride with some university peers of mine i managed to get them to play the entirety of rustic houses and all but the last 1 1/2 tracks of codename:dustsucker until the freakout halfway through 'shapeshifter' gave one of them conniptions

The Cycle of Days and Seasons is the fifth full-length album by Leeds-based band Hood. Both the LP and CD versions were released on Domino Records in 1999.
Track listing
"Western Housing Concerns" "Hood is Finished" "September Brings the Autumn Dawn" "In Iron Light" "How Can You Drag Your Body Blindly Through?" "Houses Tilting Towards the Sea" "Roads Lead Northwards" "...The Cliff Edge of Workaday Morality"
It is time.

Blasting it over the meadows, through the fog, trying to keep dewy morning at bay right now. In vain. Muddled foggy mind succumbs to this feeling like a heroin addict to methadone.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 22 September 2017 20:38 (six years ago) link
Houses Tilting = best Hood
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 22 September 2017 20:38 (six years ago) link
It's an oddly transportive track for me - among other things it's that piano tolling like bell, it's that plaintive brass, I feel like I'm being summoned through space and time back home to a past I never had
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 22 September 2017 21:25 (six years ago) link
you're worth the whole world still, IMO, the best piece of music they ever did
― akm, Friday, 22 September 2017 21:35 (six years ago) link
Any idea where the sample on "The Lost You" is from?
("the same problem as usual ...")
Only six years late to this party, but if you're still caring it's from The Slits' "Live At Gibus Club", some in-between-track banter there.

Really liking this Memory Drawings album
https://memorydrawings.bandcamp.com/album/the-nearest-exit
Autumnal, bittersweet post-rock featuring two members of Hood, unsurprisingly sounds like an instrumental Hood.

The new Remote Viewer album is really great. Couldn't have come at a better time, too.

Nice, thx for the tipIt's def the time for Cold House over here
― brimstead, Saturday, 18 November 2017 18:15 (six years ago) link
Ha otm. I've a whole night of writing to do, and a mix of Hood/Remote Viewer/Declining Winter/Boats/Bracken, with the wind blasting 'round the house, is just perfection for me.
