Artist:	SIGHTINGS
Title:	Through The Panama
Label:	ECSTATIC PEACE
Format:	LP
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	E#25B

"Bass, drum and guitars meshed together with a synthetic twine envisioned in future think tanks. Literally the sound of human progress darkened with a profound fidelity so loud the dark matter of the universe quivers in a deadly orgasm. Guitar, bass and drums reconfigured for a new purpose. This is the band's sixth album and takes the notch so much higher than previous efforts in terms of songwriting and production. With Andrew W.K. as a producer, some of the caustic curtains that swathed past albums have been parted to reveal a coldly pulsing artificial heart. And the beat of this heart sounds off in an alien tongue of bass and drums. Guitars descend like unforgiving sheets of napalm from the smoldering skyline. Songs pop out of this miasma that tick off icy coolness with piano and vocal stylings. Indeed, hot and cool. To accentuate the difference this album has versus previous Sightings records, a Scott Walker cover is included. This is a rock album, but a rock for times coming, a sound of future days. Break the chains from the days of past, listen to Sightings and evolve. Limited edition beautiful high gloss gatefold LP." Last copies, deleted edition.

Title:	Absolutes
Label:	LOAD RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	LOAD 048CD

"Eight songs that take apart rock music atom by atom so that you are left with a skeleton of sound. Sightings still use the tools of the trade -- guitar, bass and drums -- to take both rock and roll out of rock n' roll. Reference weirdo deconstructo outfits like Einsturzende Neubauten, (mid-period) Black Dice, and Mainliner. This is the sound between the guitar strings, inside the bass amp, and within a drum stick. Yes, the truth. If punk rock used to mean fucking shit up and doing it your own way, this record erects a mile high middle finger facing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."

Title:	Arrived in Gold
Label:	LOAD RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	LOAD 065CD

"Never before has a band managed to erase themselves. New York City's Sightings have risen to the challenge of negation with this 'what the fuck' of a record that rolls the twenty sided dice to dematerialize any trace of guitar, bass and drums into proton dust floating microns on top of the speaker cone. Minimal, yes. Previous records have gone from favorites at magazines as chocolate and peanut butter as the Wire and Terrorizer. Past records have been steaming knee burn befuddled by German technoid impulse and Yoko-damaged Beatles-busting intensity. A new icy coolness is added to the steaming soup this time allowing the sounds of mouth breathing to open up the record into a drug-fueled nightclub beast humping a bass bin as the sun rises."
