From AllMusic:
"The experimental art rock studio collective the Book of Knots got together in the spring of 2003 around Matthias Bossi, Joel Hamilton, and Tony Maimone (the last two also run the Studio G recording studio together). Based out of Brooklyn, its members' résumés were already rather impressive, each of them having played or worked with acts like Skeleton Key, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Shiner, Battle of Mice, Sparklehorse, Elvis Costello, Unsane, Pere Ubu, Frank Black, They Might Be Giants, and more. It wasn't until Austin's Arclight Records got in touch and offered to release the crew's recorded output that the guys decided to take the Book of Knots more seriously than initially planned. Work began on album number one, and halfway through its recording, violinist/vocalist Carla Kihlstedt (Tin Hat Trio, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, 2 Foot Yard) joined on to solidify what would become the group's core quartet. Together, the Book of Knots decided to release three conceptual records -- their first was to be an ode to rotting seaside towns; second would be a tribute to the American rust belt; third was devoted to all things aeronautical. As such, their seafaring self-titled debut appeared in 2004."

A. You're telling me every other link in this thread is out of print or otherwise unavailable? All 100 pages?


2. I know one of the founding members and feel pretty confident he wouldn't mind me sharing this with a few people, especially if it generates interest in their second album, which came out recently and features an even more intriguing list of guest artists.



It's not like I put it on SoulSeek.

Shouldn't that be 'B.' instead of '2.'? Firstly, I'm not disagreeing with your intentions. I posted a C/NC thread about them like three years ago. They're an amazing band that deserves to be heard! I'm just saying that, regardless of what our intentions are, we've gotta be careful with this shit.
Oh, and fuck Mars Volta.

My dumb little joke

I agree, which is why I haven't done this with any other album that's this widely available (though this is hardly setting the Amazon.com bestseller list on fire). I have a personal connection to the band and think he wouldn't mind this relative handful of people being exposed to their music this way, especially with a new album out.

This is not something I have made, or will be making, a habit of.
