Polvo – Exploded Drawing

all sounds great and the last track is especially marvelous

Great pressing, buy with confidence. I’ve only heard the cd, this LP is so much more dynamic with lots of detail. Classic mid 90s shoegaze / mathrock, kind of the White Album of the period with a lot of different directions from song to song but somehow pulls it off. Small Poster and mofi type sleeves.

Great reissue. Nicely cut, no issues, great sound... great album!

FYI a new re-press of this album seems to be making the rounds. Not on Merge's site but you can find at other retailers.

As others have said this sounds fantastic. I never owned the original or CD but I can't imagine them sounding better than this.

Excellent repress, done properly. Solid packaging and very flat quiet vinyl. A+

Great sound. Pressing is awesome. No crackling no pops and clean sound. Funny thing, during unsealed on first spin, i found someones thumb print on the inner groove (yeah, i forgive u)

Great sound quality and great album! Really can't say anything bad about this repressing.

WITHOUT A DOUBT "Polvo" have awed music lovers and critics alike with their unique blend of experimental antimatter-pop that compares to no one else but themselves. Back in the early days when they were on the Merge label they sang a troubled beast with the vocal tracks pretty much obscured by the dervish of guitar and the pounding of vibracobra bass. Regardless of the indistinguishable verbiage, the bands temporal shifting of time sigs and the like - created a polyglotism.

'Exploded Drawing,' their first on a new label, finds the lyrics up front and discernible, while the whirling guitar transcends the listener to newer plateaus painting the skies with a translucent paint. Polvo have found their groove. Now all they have to do is exploit it.

While "Today's Active Lifestyles" gets most of the attention, this is Polvo at their prime.
Their music enhanced by eastern influences, they dance like spiders on their psychedelic webs of sound.
Highly recommended!
