Footfalls Echo by Visionary Hours

Strings, guitar, vocals, flute and clarinet are all in check on Footfalls Echo. Together with Richard Formby (Spectrum, Mogwai, Dakota Suite, The Jazz Butcher), Visionary Hours combines these instruments with genuine tape delay created through a Revox B77 reel to reel tape recorder.

Various other tape effects were also used to create warm swathes of sound to underpin melodic lines, with recordings of acoustic instruments being reversed or slowed down before a final mix on to high speed 4-track cassette.

Analogue recording plays a very important part in the creation of this album, something that is reflected in the abstracted tape reels of the cover.

A big "thank you" goes to Jonathan Lees at Hibernate for allowing us to re-release the album and Katie English for letting us use her original lino print artwork.
