Description
Having toured Britain with full, competition-standard brass orchestras, including a sell-out night in the main hall at London's Barbican Centre, British Sea Power - described by The Sunday Times as "the best band in Britain" - now present the Sea Of Brass Boxset - an extensive 3CD + DVD audio-visual documentation of the band's time spent with some of Britain's most renown brass bands.
Including re-workings of much loved tracks from previous albums including 'Machineries Of Joy', 'Valhalla Dancehall' and 'Do You Like Rock Music?', the boxset includes the studio album, recorded with the Cheshire-based Foden's band, the full live audio and film recording of the band's sell-out Barbican show, backed by the prize-winning Redbridge Brass Band, a further CD of exclusive additional tracks and extensive liner notes, all of which come in a lovingly rendered clam box.
"British Sea Power usually sound bigger than their six members as it is - let alone when they throw a brass band into the mix. . . beautiful. . . exultant." - The Independent
"Wondrous. . . there's a breathtaking poetic beauty coursing through Sea Of Brass." - The Quietus
