SomaFM.com listener Sounds like rough recording, but most tracks using cut-up from other audio sources, Studio or Field Recordings. That will making unique angle per listeners hearing or living experience :)

My favorite is Motherless Bastard, can imaging situations by intro xD Favorite track: Motherless Bastard.

Michael A Henry I used to listen to this while I was studying in college. Returning to it recently and finding it emotionally rich despite disparate sound elements. It's a beautiful album with many interesting ideas.

about

Filled with endearing and enduring songs, the Books revisit their wide-eyed beginnings with this remastered Thought For Food, repackaged with all-new artwork and expanded to include lyrics for every song for the first time ever. Carefully and thoughtfully remastered from the original mixes by Zammuto at his new studio outside his home in Vermont, TFF now boasts a warmth and clarity that surprisingly reveals an increased harmonic depth. Having combined and refined their compositional and recording processes over the course of four albums, addressing the technical limitations of these earlier recordings offers the chance to marry the technical, musical and emotional aspects of these songs in a way like never before. To be sure, the differences are subtle, but for a band who have transformed minutiae into modern art, that subtlety is downright sublime.
