ARIAN SAMPLE - s/t

I was recently sent two records from an address in Chicago, in plain brown sleeves with the artists name stamped using a rubber stamp, one by Tommy Roundtree called Jungle Blood and the other by Arian Sample which appears to be untitled. There was no letter with the package and no return address. Both records are very haunting and moving, reminding me of Simon Finns Pass the Distance and a couple of other beautiful and obscure albums which usually get lazily classified as loner folk. I havent been able to find anything out about them at all from the internet or from record collectors. But thank you to whoever sent them. I was touched and intrigued. - David Tibet.\r\nTotally out-of-nowhere, "unknown" LP received a month or two back, unsolicited, from an address in Illinois. Immediately we thought "Jim Collins", "Terry", "Boots/CC/Snake & Remus", etc, due to the similar geographic origins, and the sound doesnt negate that theory. Our source for the Collins and Terry LPs (sold out years ago) couldnt (or wouldnt?) give us confirmation about this or its apparent "sister" LP, Tommy Roundtree. The mystery continues.. Highly recommended.
