Beatin Hearts (original) (raw)
Beatin Hearts was the first 33.3 rpm studio album by the New Zealand music label Flying Nun, and the first album by rock band Builders. It was recorded in August 1982 and released in 1983. It contains seventeen songs and lasts for 57 minutes. Characteristically for the band, the album caused typographical difficulties for critics writing about the album, as its title contains an ambiguous character. The capital "I" of the word "Beatin" contains a cross bar in the centre, so that it doubles as an "E". The title may therefore be read (but not spoken) as both "Beatin' Hearts" and "Beaten Hearts".

The album has been praised by rock critics (see below), and described by non-professional writers as everything from "basic stupid rock and roll waste of time" to "a unique brand of psychedelic rock – post-punk, often minimalistic garage rock psychedelia born on the art side of tracks. The album seemed to me no less than a work of a genius – it is so sophisticated, unpretentious, utterly individual and it belongs in the higher spheres than [sic] any pop music." http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the\_builders/beatin\_hearts/. Sessions for the album were held in three days at Progressive Studios in Anzac Ave, Auckland, with Terry King engineering. The album was mixed at Progressive. The entire project was financed by Flying Nun and steered by Chris Knox and promoter Doug Hood. Two years after its initial release the album was purchased by South Indies, who licensed the album to Grapefruit (music label) in the USA for 2016 vinyl re-release. Flying Nun re-released the album as a CD, in 1994. (en) |
