Nurse With Wound
The Vernacular Surface

Album UK 2011 on United Dirter label
Electronic (Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental)

From the Dirter label site: "The "Salt" LP release, which is the LP in clear vinyl and comes complete with a full colour insert. A 12" vinyl art object, which has been individually hand created using mixed media, signed and numbered by Steven Stapleton on one side (each one is unique and original) and is "playable" on the other. The recording on the playable side is unavailable elsewhere and only 100 copies have been made before the metalwork was removed from the pressing plant. Both pieces are then housed in a screen printed thick frosted plastic outer sleeve. All 100 copies have been professionally photographed in Ireland and will form part of a book that will be published by us next year. All subscribers who have bought the set will be thanked in the book when it is published, so please let us know if you do not wish to be included." The art side of the bonus disc features a collage which covers the entire surface of its side. In order to play the track - Salty - on the playable side of the record it is necessary to pierce a hole through the collage in order to place the disc on a turntable. "Salty" consists of the sound elements added to 'Salt' (originally from the Music For The Horse Hospital / Sounds From The Horse Hospital to transform the track into Salt Marie Celeste. In the original SMC CD release these elements are introduced over an hour-plus duration - here they are foreshortened into a track length of 25:25 mins. "Salt - Music From The Horse Hospital" is also available as a single release.
