I
have been
reluctantly convinced that
I need to be
bringing this
wonderful new
compilation
album to your
attention. I
say
"reluctantly"
because I am
if I'm
completely
honest a
little
embarrassed.
Not by the
compilation,
but by the
outpouring of
love that went
into creating
it. "Pressing
Matters" is a
fabulous compilation
album that's
been put together
by what can
only be
described as a
host of bands
and artists
who wanted to
pay their
respects to,
well, me.
Released as a
surprise to
tie in with
my birthday
earlier this
month, it was
assembled
completely
without my
knowledge by
my good friend
and colleague
Simon Lewis,
on his Apple
Tree
Lament imprint
via Bandcamp.
Simon says:
I am very
happy to
announce a new
benefit
compilation,
designed to
raise money to
help with the
production of
The
Terrascopaedia,
a hand made
bespoke magazine
that is a labour
of love for its
creator Phil
McMullen. An
expensive thing
to produce but a
worthwhile
endeavour.
Nineteen tracks
of quality music
from artists
that could well
feature in the
magazine
[in future -
many have
already!]. Keep
art alive and
help if you can.
And
the featured
artists are:
