Arthur Russell – Corn (Vinyl)

Corn, originally released in 2015, features nine tracks Russell recorded in 1982 and 1983. In collaboration with Russells partner Tom Lee, Audikas Steve Knutson compiled Corn from Arthurs original, completed 1/4 tape masters.

Russell himself compiled this material on three separate test pressingslabelled El Dinosaur, Indian Ocean, and Untitled, respectively in 1985. Russell fans know something of the Corn sound from Audikas debut release, Calling Out of Context (2004), which included four songs from these sessions: The Deer In The Forest Part 1, The Platform on the Ocean, Calling Out Of Context, and I Like You!

This new collection includes rhythmic alternate versions of Lucky Cloud, Keeping Up, See My Brother, Hes Jumping Out (Lets Go Swimming #2), This Is How We Walk on the Moon, and Hiding Your Present From You, along with Corn, Corn (Continued), They and Their Friends, and the closing instrumental Ocean Movie, one of the most beautiful and curious Russell tracks ever to see the light of day.
