Moonshake: Eva Luna (blue/remastered) LP
Availability: | In stock |
Moonshake's 1992 debut album, "Eva Luna", is back in print as a deluxe edition import blue double LP remastered from analog 1/2" tape. Formed in 1991, the group was composed of David Callahan (vocals, guitars, samplers), formerly of The Wolfhounds, New York musician Margaret Fiedler (vocals, guitars, samplers), along with bassist John Frenett and drummer Miguel Morland. Both Fiedler and Callahan wrote songs, and they would (generally) sing on the songs that they wrote. Their output of shared inspiration produced wildly different results - Can, PiL, Kraftwerk, MBV, and Eric B and Rakim were a melting pot that made Moonshake somewhat uncategorizable, and as Margaret noted in an interview, "Moonshake was a collision - it was supposed to be a collision". In a piece celebrating the record's 30th anniversary, Louder Than War wrote "Eva Luna really is one hell of a ground-breaking record, and it stands resolutely alone among all of the albums released in 1992 as no other band has managed to create anything remotely similar before or since. It really is a unique album with few equals". Along with the album's original 10 tracks, this package includes the non-LP three-song single "Secondhand Clothes", two B-sides from the "Beautiful Pigeon" single, and four tracks from a November 1992 John Peel session. It also includes an 8-page full-colour booklet.
