  • Description

    Needle Mythology, the label founded by music writer, author and broadcaster Pete Paphides, is proud to
    announce the very first vinyl release of Altitude - the collaborative album by ALT, an ad hoc trio of kindred
    spirits comprising Andy White, Liam Ó Maonlaí (Hothouse Flowers) and Tim Finn (Split Enz/Finn/Crowded
    House).



    ALT came together in Dublin when Tim Finn stayed at the flat shared by Andy White and Liam Ó Maonlaí. After cementing their friendship, the three decamped to Tim's studio in Melbourne, where the songs on
    Altitude were recorded.

    All the instruments on Altitude were played by White, Ó Maonlaí and Finn. The album was originally
    released on CD in 1995.

    This deluxe reissue of Altitude has been remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios and pressed
    onto 2 x 180g vinyl at The Vinyl Factory.



    The newly remastered version of Altitude features five additional bonus tracks from the original sessions.
    Three songs are previously unreleased in any form. The remaining two were available on the 1995
    Japanese CD release.

    Altitude will also be available on CD and digital.



    "Some of the best singer-songwriter driven alternative rock of that fertile period."
    Rock & Roll Globe, NYC

    "

    Like King Creosote and Jon Hopkins' Diamond Mine or Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's Raising Sand,
    Altitude captures an unrepeatable moment of divine serendipity."
    Pete Paphides, Needle Mythology
