Chris Watson - Outside The Circle Of Fire
Label: Touch
Catalog#: TO:37
Format: CD, Album
Released: 1998
Style: Field Recording

The purr of a leopard close up against a baobab tree, waiting. Whales surfacing, breathing in cold air. Coll starling imitate the noise of farm machinery from the hollow ring of a ruined bothy. The rattle of wood over a black stream... Chris Watson's second CD is a dramatic contrast to the spacious atmospheres of "Stepping into the Dark" (Touch TO:27, 1996). Featuring 22 close-up recordings of animals, birds and insect life, "Outside the Circle of Fire" enlarges our awareness of the sound universe, intimate with voices from the past. There is an intensity here that television pictures cannot conjure.

  • Very cool. Didn't think it was funny though. The reaction of my dog, however, who went all, "Holy shit there's a hippo in the house!" when it started playing was very funny.

  • That was incredible! I was just reading about this guy in Wire magazine. I close my eyes and I feel like they are right in front of me.
