arnskrams Ooof, blown away by this album – it's amazing! Slow Pulseboy takes you on a very special journey. Favorite track: Slow Pulseboy.

Jörg63 And Also The Trees, May 3, 2023 in Hamburg at Knust. It was for me the best show I have ever seen, across all the shows I have seen, from indie to punk, electronica to techno, from solo piano to symphony. From the very beginning, the master piece “in a bed in Yugoslavia”, me and certainly a few of the other middle-aged men almost fainted like we did as teenagers a long time ago by the beauty and the wildness of this song, of this band. And it was only the beginning. Thank you, Jörg, Copenhagen

The Tentacle A truly astonishing album, Without peer. Wonderful remaster. Favorite track: Vincent Craine.

about

‘Virus Meadow’ is considered by many to be the classic ‘And Also The Trees’ album. It was recorded in 1986 in Worcestershire, England, not far from the Hamlet where the band were based in an old farmhouse. ‘Virus Meadow’, the title track of the album, is a song inspired by the fields overlooking where a medieval village once stood before being abandoned and left to fall into the ground after being decimated by the bubonic plague.

It was the first time the band took influence from their rural surroundings and where one first hears the distinctive mandolin-like guitar sound, which were the two characteristics that set the band apart from their contemporaries as they created a sound and style of their own.

Restored and remastered for the first time since its release, the original album comes with a second disc featuring the bands first two EP’s and an extra, previously-unreleased, studio re-recording of their single ‘Shantell’.

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles

The sound of Iceland at night. Cold and gloomy but with a danceable pulse. Need to make a full visit someday. Fun fact: IcelandAir had their albums on the flight music selection. heavenorli
