Thankfully, plenty of material by the late, great Arthur Russell is being reissued on vinyl, but it's only natural given just how timeless all his work was. Tower Of Meaning is perhaps one of his most curious works, and the craziest thing is that it's actually his first album, a 1983 experiment that sounds totally out of place and utterly sublime. With strings and plenty of electronic manipulation, Russell managed to conjure a world of his own on this LP, a melancholic but strangely beautiful cascade of melodies that could have been made in the Baroque period, or 2,000 years from now by a future society on a different planet. Fantastic stuff.
