Beautiful stuff from the ever reliable Craig Tattersall. This
puppy sold out in a flash and will now punish you on eBay if
you blinked and missed it.

*100 HANDMADE COPIES ONLY FOR THE WORLD - BOUND IN A MODIFIED
BOOK AND EMBOSSED WITH THE COTTON GOODS EMBLEM* Brought to you
by the tirelessly resourceful and inspiring Craig Tattersall,
one time member of Hood, half of The Remote Viewer, The Boats
and the Moteer/Mobeer labels, as well as generally just one of
the most individual and instantly recognisable producers we
know, Cotton Goods is a new venture designed to act as an
outlet for completely bespoke packaging and some incredible
music to boot. This first instalment has been lovingly put
together by the fair hands of Tattersall himself, a
painstaking process of taking apart and reassembling old dusty
books rescued from various sources, modifying them to hold a
cd inside, binding them and then creating an outer card
slipcase individually embossed for each beautiful and
completely distinct copy. But trust us when we tell you that
this amazing object isn't really about the packaging - the
music is the thing that will completely tear down any pockets
of resistance. We've been waiting a not inconsiderable number
of years to hear this man produce outside of his various
collaborative ventures and the result has left us predictably
giddy. The music is all hissy, aged and completely analogue,
shards of melody flooding the mix at one moment before being
washed out by static and hiss the next. All manner of toy and
grown up instruments (we're sure there's even a trumpet in
there somewhere) decompose and realign themselves with their
surroundings in a style that'll be familiar to all Remote
Viewer followers out there and which just never fails to blow
us away - and we reckon this really is one of the mans best
set of productions to date. 100 editions only have been made
of which we have a measly 80 copies available for purchase.
Strictly One copy per customer - you've been warned!!!!!!
