Snail Ready First Album for Renewed Appreciation
After making such a splash with their 13-years-in-the-making MeteorCity debut, Blood earlier this year, Seattle psych stoners Snail have announced a digital reissue of their 1993 self-titled, available via their website. Dig the PR wire info:
The eponymous first album, originally released on Big Deal Records, recorded at Razor?s Edge Studio in San Francisco, CA (birthplace of Sleep?s Holy Mountain) and produced by Jonathan Burnside (Melvins, Nirvana, Steelpole Bathtub), was well received by critics and garnered much praise in the press, as well as gaining a loyal following from peers like long time supporters Fu Manchu and Nebula.
Remastered by Matt Lynch at his Mysterious Mammal studio, the band strove to ?preserve as much dynamic energy as possible? while adding additional ?power, volume, and detail to the tracks.? The result is a dynamic work that still breathes, with punch and clarity that doesn?t get smashed to mush as so often happens with ?loud? remastering jobs. ?This record was meant to be played loud, and we want it to sound bigger and better when cranked, not make your ears bleed like so many ?modern? mastering jobs do these days.? The download is encoded at the highest possible quality for easy download: 320 kbps bitrate mp3.
In addition to the remastered audio, a deluxe artwork package is included for printing which when printed and cut fits handily into a CD jewel case, even including a CD label laid out for the standard Avery template.
