专辑简介
Hugo Race was a founding member and is a powerful transient element of Nick Cave's infamous Bad Seeds. He played on 'Kicking Against The Pricks', 'Tender Prey' and 'Murder Ballads'. Hugo Race released nine independent albums in Europe in the last decade with his band The True Spirit. The five albums released on Germanyas Normal Records are all out of print. Three of the four albums on Glitterhouse are still available, only the limited mailorder release 'Wet Dream' is sold out. Now is the time to either introduce yourself to the sounds of this musical genius or to just remind yourself how great this stuff really was/is - because 'Long Time Ago', a double CD for the price of one, is a career retrospective containing a kind of best-and-rarest, with studio tracks from 9 albums, remix versions, unreleased material and live cuts. All tracks have been remastered by Hugo himself. The booklet contains extensive sleevenotes and a wide range of photographs from the True Spirit archives. Although undeniably rooted in the American blues, critics and fans have been hard pressed to define what the nature of his music really is - rock, psychedelia, industrial, experimental, or just plain eclectic. Actually each new release has caused more confusion as to how Hugo Race's music should be categorised, which caused a great deal of inconvenience to those addicted to the practice of pigeon-holing. It is raw, honest, yet perfectly crafted. Majestic, cool and wise, extremely rich in contrast with a dark mood throughout, spooky and intense. And definitely underrated. 28 tracks on two CDs (recorded between 1988 and 1999) including, 'Louise's Hands', 'Solid State' & 'Apocalypse'. Slimline double jewel case.
