2CD + 90pp hardback book with essays, translations, full track information and 100 colour images
OUT OF STOCK
An essential and unusual document
Two remarkable and important CDs of - and very diverse - site recordings made in Chernobyl - (occupying the whole of CD1), the Caspian Oilfields around Baku (Azerbaijan) and in various UK sites, including Lakenheath, Dungeness, Sellafield, Snowdonia &c. (CD2).
The CDs are accompanied by a very beautifully made 90pp hardback book filled with a huge number of original colour photographs, background information, interviews and detailed documentation of the recordings, their collection, the history of the environments recorded and the curious and inadvertent inverse relation between human hazard and broader environmental recovery.
