Giant Sand - Center of the Universe (25th Anniversary Edition) (2011)

Carrying on with the rolling reissues of Giant Sand/ Howe Gelb which will see the re-release of roughly 30 albums. Center Of The Universe, originally released in 1992, is the eighth Giant Sand reissue in the series. Howe holds Center Of The Universe close to his heart, explaining the record ''Could be my favorite record .. written in a one room cabin at the end of the road in the high desert around Joshua tree where I lived for a few years ... recorded back in Venice, California with the same slant as was in-stilled in the writing ... adorned with the 'psycho sisters' who show where the melodies in these songs were hiding ... now through the miracle of remastering, these tracks sound more vibrant and alluring.''
