Various Artists - [2003] - Another Country 1 [FLAC]

Review [by Johnny Loftus at Allmusic.com] Agenda's Another Country drifts much further afield than your average alt.country comp, reveling not in convention but the delicacies and darkness of tangential Americana. It moves diagonally between the post-folk intellectualism of Mighty Flashlight and David Grubbs and through the achy hope of Peggy Honeywell, touching on the traditionalism of Be Good Tanyas and Calexico along the way. In between there's Low's "In Metal" -- a standout from that group's 2001 effort Things We Lost in the Fire -- as well as literate roots material from Chicagoans Wilco, Jim O'Rourke, and Sam Prekop. Scud Mountain Boys' "Silo" could be the most affecting thing here. "I'm gonna shoot the livestock when I go," Joe Pernice hums over a mournful acoustic guitar. The line aptly describes the acrid smoke of finality, human frailty, and love-fueled rage that's always permeated country and roots music; it's the same cloud of dust that hangs over the powerful, introspective Another Country. Track Listings 1. Don't Bother - Sam Prekop 2. Ghostship In A Storm - Jim O'Rourke 3. Darlin Man - Peggy Honeywell 4. Burn The River Dry - Jim White 5. River Rat Jimmy - Kelly Jo Phelps 6.

Sorry for the slow upload speeds everybody, try to bear with me.
It's going to be slow generally, but at the moment I have to get my ratio up on Sixcrates' FLAC Be Good Tanyas albums, which are well worth checking out if you like this compilation.
As soon as this torrent has stabilised, I'll be uploading Another Country volume two. :) Take it easy all.

Yeah, and don't worry yourself with uploading my stuff - I have plenty of bandwidth and never turn off my computer.
