Recorded in 1997, on The Shadow Ring's return from their final American tour, Lighthouse captures the group at their most stripped-down and visionary. Graham Lambkin's fractured texts conjure Folkestone's haunted coastline-Vikings, the Morgawr, a fading Britain, the pull of the sea-under the sway of Alternative TV's Vibing Up the Senile Man (Part One), the mechanical vernaculars of Robert Ashley, and the deflated humor of Dad's Army and It Ain't Half Hot Mum. Originally issued in 1999 on Scott Foust's Swill Radio, this lost masterpiece-a stark, lo-fi world of home recording and concrète capture-is once again available on vinyl. For fans of Alan Titchmarsh, David Croft, Harry Pussy, and Idea Fire Company
