Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid

The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid is the sixth studio LP by ambient drone music group Stars of the Lid. It was released in late 2001 on the Kranky label, on two CDs and three LPs. The album features long minimal, droning compositions created from heavily treated guitar, horn, flute, piano, and other classical instruments. An interesting feature of the second track, "Requiem For Dying Mothers, part 2" is that it features a sample from the final scene of Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker, where the character Monkey pushes a glass across a table by way of telekinesis as a dog whines and a train whistle blows in the distance.

Ripped using EAC with 99% accuracy and then encoded using FLAC at -8. The picture changes every ten minutes from art found on the inside and front of the CD case.
