<span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Australian artist Purdy has just made his 5th solo album entitled <i>'Body Variations'</i>,
and it is a song cycle without lyrics. Beguiling and straight forward,
it is in the actual time it takes to listen to the whole piece that you
find the complexity and treats that make it really worthwhile.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #1c0339;"><b>'Illumination' the long-awaited new LP by Kevin Purdy has finally arrived on our shores. This beautiful 140gm vinyl lovely is loud and very good-looking. Kevin has stripped back his multi-layered production style, creating an album of deep and rich textural sound voyages. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #1c0339;"><b>Focusing on his Ebo guitar and synth work, often heard floating around on Tooth and Purdy releases, Kevin has created a wonderous collection of ambient, minimal dub and improvised works. This is essentially a Kevin Purdy solo LP, excepting the last track, 'Cloud Shadows on Hill' which features a vocal performance by the legendary Amanda Stewart (Poet, performer: Machines For Making Sense, Metalog, etc).</b></span>
<span style="color: #1c0339;"><b> You can order the LP <a href="http://soft-records.blogspot.com.au/p/releases.html">here</a> or through <a href="http://purdy.bandcamp.com/"><span style="color: #1c0339;">Bandcamp</span></a>, where you can alternatively download the album if you wish.You can also get yourself a copy of 'Illumination' in Sydney at Title Music, Egg Records and Red Eye Records, in Melbourne it's available at Round and Round Records in Brunswick. There will be stock in other states soon. All LPs come with a free download card and a specially made sticker.</b></span><br />
