SILVER ANNIVERSARY RE-ISSUE
Available now! A special limited edition re-issue of David's extraordinary
collaboration with former Weimar Bauhaus artist/poet, Rene Halkett.
Originally released by 4AD in 1981 as a one off 7" single,
this recording has been unavailable for many years and has achieved
cult status amongst aficionados, sometimes fetching as much as $400
at auction.
The silver anniversary CD will feature remastered versions of the
two original tracks, 'Nothing' and 'Armour' as well as a brand new
recording, 'The New God', a long narrative piece that Rene recorded
in 1980 at the same as the other two poems, (Sadly, Rene died in
1983). David has set Rene's emotive voice against an evocative soundscape
played, for the most part, on a beautiful Luta ( a cross between
a lute and a guitar ) dating from the mid nineteenth century, which
he inherited when Rene passed away. Also included on the disc, Rene's
original spoken word renditions of 'Nothing' and 'Armour'.
Each disc will be stamped with its own number and signed by David
J. This unique item will be available exclusively via mail order
and at David's live shows. The cost will be $20 (+ $3 p & p
) The edition will consist of 1000 copies.
Please send money order or check to the following address:
