2023 restock. Rotorelief present a reissue of
Homotopy To Marie
. the fifth album by
Nurse With Wound
, originally released in 1982. Music and sleeve created by
Steven Stapleton
. The album is "a step on from the Dadaist rock of
Merzbild Schwet
, with much use of tape manipulation and classical avant-garde techniques". The album, which combines tape edits with resonating gong tones and disembodied children's voices to create a sonic collage, is far removed from the harsh improvisations of the group's early albums. The title of the brief closing track derives from a passage from "Les Chants de Maldoror" (1869), a surreal poetic novel written by
Le Comte de Lautréamont
. This appropriation of a phrase from Maldoror is shared in common with the title of Nurse With Wound's debut album,
Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella
(1979); both phrases appear in Lautréamont's work. The album was first issued on Stapleton's own United Dairies label on vinyl, cassette, and later in remastered compact disc including an extra track "Astral Dustbin Dirge". This masterpiece reissue is the official full, double album from the original recording sessions. The four tracks from the original LP are accompanied by additional recordings from the same period. This second, double album masterpiece in the "silver collection" of Nurse With Wound albums, is a technically better, crystal clear performance, in comparison to the original 1982 cut. Comes one black vinyl (ROTOR 070LP) and silver-and-black vinyl (ROTOR 070SIL-LP).
