With producer \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Hannett\u003c\/strong\u003e’s signature studio alchemy, Reilly’s delicate, filigree guitar work is wrapped in ambient haze, post-punk reverb, and glacial electronics. The result is a sparse yet emotionally saturated soundscape, where minimalism meets affecting atmospherics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo mark the album’s 45th anniversary, \u003cstrong\u003eLondon Records\u003c\/strong\u003e presents new editions, remastered from the original tapes (the first edition to do so since 1980).
