Into the Garden: An Artery Collection
cdmred296
Artery are one of the great lost bands of the post-punk era. They were widely acknowledged to be Sheffield's answer to Joy Division. Regularly championed by the likes of Jarvis Cocker of Pulp as the steel city's finest export, until now Artery have been denied the career appraisal they so richly deserveThis collection is headed by the much admired, hugely atmospheric 'Into The Garden', voted fourth best record of 1981 by listeners to John Peel's show. It also draws on highlights from their cult 1983 LP One Afternoon In A Hot Air Balloon and the mini-album Oceans The recordings feature later Mission guitarist Simon Hinkler as well as the unique presence of singer Mark Gouldthorpe, one of the most incisive lyricists and volatile frontmen of the era The package is completed with exclusive remixes and never before officially released tracks, as well as full sleeve notes and track annotation.
