Description:

First CD/LP reissue of the extremely rare 1975 album, which was selected as one of "The 50 Best Ambient Albums of All Time" by Pitchfork in the U.S.! Official reissue of the extremely rare 1975 release of ERNEST WOOD from FREEDOM TO SPEND. under RVNG INTL. which continues to have strong reissues in 2019 with UK delusional folk music / home recording minimal RIMARIMBA and JUNE CHIKUMA. This is a private press release from 1975 by ERNEST WOOD, who started his musical career as a jazz guitarist in Portland, Oregon, but became ill in his late 20s and had to give up his career. The album is a soundtrack of the ordinary life in the good old U.S.A., based on the theme of his own boyhood, and the nostalgic soundscape of carefully spun field recordings, zithers, synthesizers, etc. echoes through the entire album. The album was selected as one of "The 50 Best Ambient Albums of All Time" by Pitchfork, and its unique musicality, which is different from both mere ambient music and field recordings, continues to captivate a cult of ambient freaks around the world! Restored from the original tapes / Original liner notes by ERNEST HOOD and new liner notes by MICHAEL KLAUSMAN
