A unique, standout field recording that vividly documents the Dutch lifeboat rowing team Roeiteam Terschelling Recreatie during training. Row, row, row your boat!!! A classic second album originally released in 2017. The long-awaited first repress in eight years! Back in stock!!

A sonic document of April 25, 2011, as the crew heads out from West-Terschelling harbor in the Netherlands into the Wadden Sea and back again. At times it almost sounds like dance music: the eight-person crew gradually locks their oar strokes and calls into a single unified motion, keeping the groove and getting funky — overwhelmingly beautiful and cool, with a real you-are-there presence. The shifting scenery of ambient and natural sounds is thrilling too. Recorded and edited by ANDREAS O. HIRSCH, a member of The Knob, The Finger & The It (whose recently released album was also superb) — masterful work. Highly recommended. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
