Description
2012 marks 20 years of Thrill Jockey. The label continues celebrating by offering this deluxe vinyl edition of Trans Ams classic double album Red Line.
2000: Trans Ams fifth studio album Red Line is released. Out of print on vinyl for nearly a decade, Thrill Jockey are happy to finally offer it again. This 2012 edition was remastered to vinyl by Roger Seibel at SAE Mastering and pressed on high quality virgin vinyl.
The double LP is packaged in a deluxe old-style tip-on gatefold jacket fully replicating the original artwork and includes a download coupon for the first time.
Trans Ams fifth album, with twenty-one tracks spanning over seventy-three minutes, features lush vocals, massive horns, tight electronic jams, guest musicians, acoustic guitar, soaring keyboards, in-yourface mixing, and occasional sitar. It is a mammoth recording that documents the bands mastery of both rock and electronic compositions and captures the true essence of Trans Am.
Red Line was the first of the bands releases to utilize clean vocals. Effected vocals exist on some tracks and the infamous vocoder has not disappeared, but for the first time Trans Am ventured into the realm of normal singing. The venture was successful tracks such as Play In The Summer, Slow Response and Im Coming Down show a side of the band that few knew existed.
