@kneedeep, it certainly isn't the best remaster but it is listenable, though the last track on the album cuts off some 20 seconds early. I had picked it up from eMu years back.
courtesy Guvera (2 tracks) and Amazon (well, they courteously let me pay them per track on the remaining 4 tracks).
Next up: Julian Priester's Love, Love, from the first two guvera dl's.

The Stinson track is out of this world !
Los Angeles-based musician Devin Sarno, whose principal instrument is electric bass, began Crib in the early '90s as an experimental solo project. His initial focus was on loud, experimental feedback approaches influenced by such notables on the noise scene as Merzbow and Masonna, which informed his initial series of singles, cassettes, and compilation appearances. He could also be found working with a variety of LA-based groups and performers, turning up on albums by Slug and That Dog. Towards the mid-'90s, Sarno took a more reflective, quietly intense turn with Crib, his pieces now reminiscent of such composers and bands as Thomas Koner, Arvo Part, and Main. After a series of further compilation spots and an initial collaboration album with guitarist Nels Cline under his own name, Sarno issued an official Crib debut in 1998, She Is Church, giving him the chance to explore his approaches at length. Following another collaboration with Cline, Sarno released the second Crib CD, Forward Back, in 2000, with plans for another release the following year. The album was delayed until 2002, when Remnant was released by True Classical CDs in the spring.

thom - I saw The Decemberists on the tour for Hazards of Love when they were playing the whole album front to back. Seeing it live with both Shara Worden and Becky Stark reprising their roles from the album was pretty awesome.
Then they played a cover of Heart's "Crazy on You" with Worden and Stark on vocals. Best cover I've ever seen. Shara Worden is a goddess.

One Step More and You Die by Mono
Pretty decent album arranged around one amazing ten-horned monster of a track (Com(?)). (in two parts on youtube)
Thanks Brighternow.
@Germanprof - a small world, I used to live and teach in the north of Peterborough, not far from Bourne for over twenty years until 1993!

Thanks Thom
[edit] I'm really liking the new direction. I'll have to go give Her Majesty... another listen.
(edit) I haven't played this for a year or so. I'd forgotten how good it is and how much I liked it!
I'd forgotten how much I like her. Hadn't heard anything since No Borders Here and Speckless Sky.
Her entire back catalog is available for free download
[thanks to brett from London - a great find]

Re: Skip James Complete recordings
Some of the Emu samples are pretty noisy - are you listening to the CD and what is the quality?

All hail Guvera...
I need to find a way to re-structure my life so I can travel with more than just my ears; the itch gets worse with each passing year and album.
