about

The Book of Pressure - Manhand 006 - Released in 2002.

Music by David Bohill, Chad Cooper, John Moloney, Richard Thomas a.k.a. Cousin Rich, Robert Thomas, with special guests from Ireland - Cillian Sparks & Barry Mangan.

Tracks 1 & 12 were from a separate event at the same location.

Tracks 2 - 10 were from a long booze-fueled jam on a friday night at the loft when some Irish friends were in town around Christmas around 2000/2001. Rob wasnt present at this session.

All of this early sunburned music was most likely recorded with 2 mics plugged directly into the 2 - 1/4" mic inputs on a tape deck that Moloney and Cooper found in the trash on Paris Street in Everett, Massachusetts in 1997.

From Mathieu Duval's My Record Collection website:

'On this album, the ranting which is to feature more often on later albums makes it's first appearance. I'm not to sure what they're blabbing on about on the first title track, but it certainly has this hippy-beatnik vibe to it! The music on this track is not that great. It's on the ten part Glens which follows is where things get interesting. On the first one, there is a very prominent buzzing keyboard sound which gives the song a very dark and gloomy feel; the funkiness of their earlier albums is completely absent for the first time. The rest of the series sounds like the a bunch of monkeys and trolls covering some Residents songs! The sixth part is absolutely insane! Don't really know what to make of it, but it puts a smile on my face! It all ends with the beautiful, eastern-tinged jam that is My Wings, My Vision. Pretty fucking strange album, but an interesting new direction for the group.'
