about

Written in 1998-9, and recorded following a severe breakdown. It's probably the best stuff I've ever recorded, and I continue enjoying mixing everything in the red. Jessica Finney loaned me her bass, and all bass tracks recorded in her apartment in Richmond, VA in the summer of 1999 over the course of one night. Thanks, Jessica.

Eyes China Doll (Original Master 1985)

Anyone who cites a track other than “Hotel Blanc” as their favorite is lying! Seriously, this is a gothic and percussive beast of a record that sounds great, whether overblown like on the 2005 BLRR release or here in its original master where it sounds clearer but more confined. Many of the tracks are waltzes, but the sophisticated production of “Hotel Blanc” surpasses them all. It would become a rightful milestone and a recurring motif in Edward’s future work (solo and band) for years to come. RTW
