The Seasons (from The Bbc Radio Schools Series 'drama Workshop')

the cd has a 22 page booklet, which includes biographies, a q and a with david cain, all the poetry and images of the rare 'missing' slides. at long last the rarest and most peculiar of all radiophonic workshop albums is available. originally issued in 1969, 'the seasons' has become almost mythical over the last few years. with its mix of unexpected electronics, percussion, tape manipulation and austere poetry, it sounds like no other. 'the seasons' has also become a major influence on bands such as broadcast and a key reference in the development of ghost box and the whole 'hauntology' soundscape. it is seen and heard very much now as an important and lost classic. and after over one year of detective work and rights investigation (which is a lot in this modern world of instant communication), this impressive, strange and wholly unique album is seeing the light of day once again.
