A Long Red Ladder To The Moon (enhanced 2014)

by Edward Ka-Spel

RTW Ka-Spel was creatively on fire in the 2000s, moving away from straightforward song craft to focus on epic projects with cinematic, big-picture soundscapes. In between two trilogies then (the seafaring escapades and the dream logic set) is this standalone record of mostly rhythm experiments, hip hop done EKS-style. "Hey Rainman" in a way is the big single that gives the record its title and is here in multiple versions, but the abrasive glam-rock detour of "Flipside" is the best moment here. Favorite track: Flipside.

Anthony Jackson I learn something new each time I hear this album... sometimes it’s the bass lines, others the drums. But mostly it’s the layers and dynamics. The album is like a master class in production to me, full of ‘ advice ‘ on how to compose and deliver works. I like how it breaks from a traditional chord based structure and just plays around the chords, spelling fragments in layers throughout...

Picking a favorite track is near impossible...
But if you twist my arm, FLIPSIDE...
Because... well

about

2005. It seems hard to believe that this highly emotional album is almost a decade old upon this day of its digital resurrection.Ostensibly an album of songs ,picking up the thread from "Red Letters" which was another decade before. This upload for Bandcamp showcases the ultimate version - a massive 3 x LP set from Beta-Lactam Ring Records. It's tough to score these days , but all the parts are in place right here on this page. Sound enhancement is subtle as Ray's original master sounded so good- it merely takes advantage of the high quality digital tools which are now available.
