Gold Is the Metal (With the Broadest Shoulders)

'Gold is the Metal (with the Broadest Shoulders)' was the third in a trilogy that began with 'Scatology' and 'Horse Rotorvator', with much of the material emerging from the same period of recordings. It hones an 'electro-erotics of sound', blending textural instrumental pieces with notable field recordings - including a drunken brass band captured in Mexico and a Thai boxing arena recorded by Sleazy. A key moment of serendipity is found in `Metal In the Head', which features a malfunctioning Fairlight sampler randomly rearranging and distorting the music. Remastered under the guidance of original member Stephen Thrower, this new edition features restored The Grey Area of Mute.artwork, previously unseen imagery and new sleeve notes, and marks the start of a new reissue series through
