SPARKLEHORSE & FENNESZ In The Fishtank (2009 UK vinyl LP - 'In The Fishtank' is an ever ongoing project of Konkurrent, an independent music distributor in the Netherlands. For this series of releases, Konkurrent invites musicians that they feel strongly related to into the studio to record. They are given two days studio time and freedom to do whatever they like musically, so The Fishtank offers a space for expression and experimentation. Laptop artist Christian Fennesz manages to create a world of unheard and rich new sounds. Christian had the idea to collaborate with Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse as, after performing together, both felt that there was further mileage in their collaboration. Just two days in December 2007 were enough to record over 40 minutes of this sublime Fennesz and Sparklehorse combination. Songs and soundscapes of rare beauty with stunning atmospherics, where abstract sounds and well-crafted traditional song structure meet and where acoustic instruments and electronics create outstanding ambience. The picture sleeve remains in the open shrink, which has protected it from wear. The vinyl shows only slight spindlewear from play. )
