MOORE, R. STEVIE - Glad Music
Personal Injury is pleased to present R. Stevie Moores legendary album Glad Music, originally released on the French label New Rose in 1986. Glad Music is regarded as one of the highlights of RSMs 400+ album discography and was featured as one of his six most _¢‚Ǩ_ìessential_¢‚Ǩ¬ù albums in The WIREs recent cover article. Reissued for the first time on vinyl in an exact-repro sleeve and remastered from an analog source. - Personal Injury.\r\n
\r\n_¢‚Ǩ_ìAfter nearly two decades of compiling lo-fi four-track bedroom recordings for his self-released cassettes, Glad Music is the first album Moore has recorded in a proper studio. The difference is startling. Glad Music is R. Stevie Moore at his most accessible._¢‚Ǩ¬ù_Ç - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide.\r\n
\r\n_¢‚Ǩ_ìThis is the first time Moores indulged in a major, big-studio project, and its worked wonders. Glad Music has convinced me that R. Stevie Moore is a genius of a rare order, with the ability to marshall a bewildering diversity of styles and influences and mould them into something quite peculiarly his own. Hes one of the few practitioners of post-modernist cross-pollination with the wit and sheer taste to produce a worthy hybrid. Buy this record._¢‚Ǩ¬ù_Ç - Andy Gill, NME (1986).\r\n
\r\n_¢‚Ǩ_ìDespite plaudits from the likes of Trouser Press and increasingly favourable treatment in the UK inkies, Moore was unable to convert his critical reputation into sales. Laid down in a professional recording studio, Glad Music feels like a last failed stab at connecting with an audience. Its as though Moore suspects that, all along, that was the problem. Consequently, although its almost conventional, it is, thanks to glistening steel-string acoustic guitar, often beautiful._¢‚Ǩ¬ù_Ç - Matthew Ingram, The WIRE (2012).\r\n
\r\n_¢‚Ǩ_ìThis is my all-time 2nd favorite album!! 5 out of 5 stars._¢‚Ǩ¬ù - R. Stevie Moore (2013).
