{"product_id":"602448898470","title":"BONE MACHINE (REMASTER) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1992 on Island Records, Bone Machine is Tom Waitsâ€™ 11th studio album. 5 years after Franks Wild Years, Bone Machine is a return to studio albums for Tom Waits. The album features David Hidalgo, Les Claypool, Brain and Keith Richards and won a GRAMMY for Best Alternative Music Album. Bone Machine is rather pointedly otherworldlyâ€¦ another edge pusher â€“ his most poetically and sonically daring work yet. Writing again with his longtime collaborator and wife, Kathleen Brennan, Waits acknowledges writing â€˜darkerâ€™ material saying â€œA great many songs live there, so thatâ€™s where Iâ€™ve been digging lately.â€ Waits calls the songs on Bone Machine â€œlittle movies for the ears.â€ He sometimes wrote them entirely from a percussion patternâ€”which he played on array of largely homemade instruments. One, the â€œconundrum,â€ was rusted pieces of farm equipment hung from a large iron crucifix. As Waits explained at the time, â€œI have a lot of very strong rhythmic impulses, but this is not my world. I just pick something up and I hit it, and if I like the sound, it goes on. Sometimes my idiot approach serves the music.â€ Mortality is a recurrent theme, from â€œDirt In The Groundâ€ (\"We're all gonna be. . .\") to â€œAll Stripped Down,â€ â€œThe Ocean Doesn't Want Meâ€ (a tale of contemplated suicide), â€œJesus Gonna Be Here,â€ the rambunctious paean to childhood, â€œI Don't Wanna Grow Up,â€ and certainly the broken-hearted, confessional classic Waits ballad, â€œWhistle Down The Wind.â€ Waits explained at the time: â€œYeah, ultimately, it will be a subject that you deal with. Some deal with it earlier than others, but it will be dealt with. Eventually we'll all have to line up and kiss the devil's arse.â€ Yet the album actually ends upliftingly, with â€œThat Feelâ€ co-written with Keith Richards. Newly remastered for the first time ever from the original  ½â€ flat master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering under the guidance of Waitsâ€™ longtime audio engineer, Karl Derfler. The album packaging has also been restored. Bone Machine includes tracks such as â€œGoinâ€™ Out West,â€ â€œI Donâ€™t Wanna Grow Upâ€ and â€œJesus Gonna Be Here.â€\\ Available on 180g black vinyl.
