Best listened to from inside the womb, Duster’s 1998’s debut Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core’s first wave. A four track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to “rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.” This foil stampled and numbered 25th anniversary edition is pressed on 180G vinyl and comes with a lyric sheet and poster SIDE A 1 Moon Age 2 Heading For The Door 3 Gold Dust 4 Topical Solution 5 Docking The Pod 6 The Landing 7 Constellations 8 The Queen Of Hearts SIDE B 9 Two Way Radio 10 Inside Out 11 Stratosphere 12 Reed To Hillsborough 13 Shadows Of Planes 14 Earth Moon Transit 15 The Twins/Romantica 16 Sideria Bonus Track: Echo, Bravo *CD/CASS Only
