HW: Harvey Red Shift

[Craig Shipley]

Why, oh, why did HB decide to name his release the very same thing that
Mark Shreeve named his latest? Is this gonna create confusion? You bet it
will. Just reading the missive below leads me to believe that confusion is
going to be the order of the day (Shreeves' latest, which hearkens back to
the analog-synth glories of TD's Rubycon, also has received rave reviews as
being a masterpiece, etc. etc. The letter below makes me wonder if the review
could be for his. Not to cast any doubts on David, but when you hear of two
releases, with the same name and both getting excellent reviews, you gotta
wonder).

Has anyone seen the cover of HB's Redshift? Is his name prominently displayed?
The Shreeve release just has an abstract orb on the front with the word Redshift
at the bottom, with his name only appearing on the back/inside cover; very stealthy...

Maybe BOC outta change the name of Ezkials Wheel (the ever-pending new
release) to Red Shift 'cuz that will insure that it'll go platinum... :-/

Red Shift gets a seriously good write up in the new CDS catalogue of
Electronic Music
About a page of the stuff  - "this is one of the most sensational synth
albums I have heard in years "

trouble is when I tried to buy it last week it turns out it was a limited
edition of 500 not on EBS  and is sold out - I was told there may be plans
to re-release it on EBS though.

No sign of Love in Space yet.
