TROUM :: Sen :: 2xLP :: OUT NOW !!

After numerous delays Equation is proud to announce the release of this incredible DOUBLE LP set by TROUM. It surely is the most luxurious vinyl release we have so far created. See the pictures below - it needs to be handled to fully appreciate the artifact. There are many more pictures on the release page on the Equation web site. Baraka[H] (of Troum) has said that - apart from being the best looking Troum record so far - it is probably the most beautiful LP record in his whole collection!
Just to be clear there are THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS (stated below with pressing numbers and the price - which really is as low as I can go honest!!):

1. Version #1 :: PICTURE DISC SET :: 217 numbered copies :: $30 + p&p
   
2. Version #2 :: Tan 180g vinyl with halo :: 147 numbered copies :: $28 + p&p

All 2xLP sets come with 3 luxury heavy-gauge circular double-sided card inserts and a sticker (all housed in a sealed heavy 7" PVC sleeve fastened inside the gatefold), the sleeve has 2 stickers affixed to the outside and the PVC gatefold sleeve is fastened with a Velcro button.

Here are some pictures...

The three circular inserts are shown along with the gatefold opened-out.

This is a re-mastered re-issue of the long out-of-print Mort Aux Vaches CD (from 1999). The remastering now gives the work the best-ever sound quality (the band say this themselves) - which works wonderfully on vinyl.

Music Details - as written by Jim Haynes from The Wire (UK) ::
"Troum mines the nether regions of the subconscious to create waking replications of the nightly visions. Their recordings are far from mere transcriptions of dreams to tape: they are the gossamer residues of once vivid memories, passed through mesmeric filters to slowly dissolve present reality into soft focus fragments of thought. Musically, these translations fall both on the sublime and, at times, on the malevolent side of the ambient fence.

Sen is fixated on the North Sea where sheets of black ice creak under the tidal currents that roll onto a rocky beach. Troum sees no need to utter any direct references, implying their metaphors behind a bleak drone haze of guitars, bells, voice, and keyboards treated with a heavy dose of synthetic cathedral reverb. Sen reveals Troum's post-industrial background with a churning drum machine which rumbles underneath the complex tonal patterns like an antiquated seaside factory.

Troum, more so than their precedent incarnation Maeror Tri, has the potential to invoke awe through their hypnogogic expanses of droning sound. Rarely have they failed to push beyond their potential, and Sen is no exception. "
