 | Description: | An Imaginary Country by Tim Hecker, released 12 March 2009, includes the following tracks: "The Inner Shore", "Borderlands", "Utropics", "Her Black Horizon" and more.
This version of An Imaginary Country comes as a 1xCD. - An Imaginary Country continues from the trajectory of Hecker's last album, the critically acclaimed Harmony in Ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. Tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound pallete including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. At times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he is known for. This music backs off from the void of immensity in favor of a terrain of lushness and warmth. 2009.Recorded March-May 2008 in Montreal.
200 Years Ago mixed at Hotel2tango.
Cover image contains details of 'Montreal Crater, Vimy Ridge' by David Milne (1919).
Comes in a cardboard gatefold sleeve.
