R.E.M. - Murmur

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ONI.R.S. 1983

I.R.S. SP 70604 made in UK with text inner sleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

R.E.M. developed a strangely subdued variation of its trademark sound for its 1983 full-length debut album, Murmur, by de-emphasizing the backbeat and accentuating the ambience of the guitars. Even though it's firmly rooted in the tradition of American folk-rock, post-punk, and garage rock, Murmur sounds eerily timeless, as if it appeared out of nowhere. Part of the distinctiveness lies in the atmospheric production, which exudes a detached sense of mystery, but it also comes from the remarkably accomplished songwriting. http://remhq.com/index.php
