Release Notes:

Living Bridge is a 25 song, 2 CD collection of newly recorded songs by bands who
have previously worked at the Rare Book Room Studio in Brooklyn, New York. It
was produced by Nicolas Vernhes (its owner since 1995) and marks Rare Book Room
Records first release.

These are not outakes; all the songs, but one*, were recorded for the exclusive
purpose of this collection.

The bands were asked if they would record one song of their choice, meant to be
part of a collection highlighting the varying types of music which are the
jumping-off point for the label. The bands were also given free reign to
experiment and try new approaches for this one of a kind record.

To help make all these different styles of music flow as an album, the bands
were encouraged to create long intros and outros (when appropriate) so the songs
could cross-fade into one another, creating an organic way to proceed through
the sequence.

In its essence, ôLiving Bridgeö is a mixed tape made with and for the musicians
who have helped shape the Rare Book Room Studio**. And as the first release for
the label, it also hints at the upcoming full lengths from Palms (Berlin and
NYC) and Lia Ices (NYC), both of which appear here.


*The Silver Jews track ôSelf Ignitionö was produced by Nicolas at the Rare Book
Room in 1998 as part of ôAmerican Waterö (Drag City-DC149) but didnÆt make it on
that record. It was released as a b-side to a UK-only single and has been
unavailable since.
