modificato 4 months ago riferendosi a The Seventeenth Century, LP, Album, Ltd, RE, FLT184. Could not wait for these remasters to come out in 2018. I love the band and always have. I must say the sound is very good but not fantastic. Surprisingly insipid instrumental album - weakest of the 5 just rereleased IMHO. Rispondi Avvertimi Helpful.

Let the Snakes Crinkle Their Heads to Death is the fifth album by English alternative rock band Felt, released in 1986. Their first album for Creation Records, it is composed of short instrumentals in different styles and is less than nineteen minutes in length. The original album cover featured a photo of the band which was replaced on reissues by a cropped version.

Song For William S. Harvey. This song is by Felt and appears on the album Let the Snakes Crinkle Their Heads to Death (1986).

After a purely instrumental album came their first without instrumentals. As well as their best, ‘Primitive Painters’ had been Felt’s biggest record, topping the independent chart, and the new pop songs also stretched out (eight songs and 32 minutes, Felt-fact fans!). Lawrence’s guitar twinned with Hammond organ on (a suitably titled) ‘Down But Not Yet Out’, but it was Duffy who dominated a predominantly zippy record. Felt’s seventh album lasted six songs and 26 minutes, and its opening words (from ‘Declaration’) were I will be the first person in history to die of boredom. Nine minutes were allotted to ‘Riding On The Equator’, while Lawrence ceded guitar duties to session player Tony Willis on the sombre ‘She Lives By The Castle’ and ‘Stained-Glass Windows In The Sky’ – the former’s vocal melody the first indication that Lawrence’s new hero to emulate was mid-sixties Dylan.

Any similarity to songs already written is purely coincidental. Second pressing with revised artwork as requested by Lawrence - original pressing Let The Snakes Crinkle Their Heads To Death features full band photograph on the cover.

From 1986, the determinedly melodious Let The Snakes Crinkle Their Heads To Death (reissued here under as The Seventeenth Century) contains no vocals whatsoever, and even their succinct second album, 1984’s The Splendour Of Fear, only makes room for two songs topped by Lawrence’s Verlaine-besotted voice – but what songs they ar. In fact, their closest brush with circumscribed fame occurred the following year, when the rich sprawl of Primitive Painters, with Cocteau Twin Elizabeth Fraser guesting on vocals, turned heads as an indie single.

Felt’s other instrumental album, Train Above the City, was created without the involvement of frontman Lawrence (beyond the naming of the songs), but with Let the Snakes Crinkle Their Heads to Death Lawrence got in on the act, authoring or co-authoring nine of the ten brief instrumental tracks and playing guitar. Without a doubt the most minor, disposable record in Felt’s catalog, Let the Snake. ounds like backing tracks awaiting vocal overdubs.

The name death's-head hawkmoth refers to any of three moth species of the genus Acherontia (Acherontia atropos, Acherontia styx and Acherontia lachesis). The former species is found primarily in Europe, the latter two are Asian; most uses of the common name refer to the European species. These moths are easily distinguishable by the vaguely human skull-shaped pattern of markings on the thorax.
