Seam - Pace is Glacial (199

Audio: 128 WMA
File Size: 44.8 Mb
Label: Touch & Go
Year: 1998

I apologize for the 128 bitrate but these are WMA's so the sound quality isn't that bad, its closer to Mp3 at 192 than Mp3 at 128. I actually don't have this disc, (otherwise I would have made VBR Mp3's) it was a few years ago I must have grabbed these from Kazaa or some other shitty p2p program before I got into torrents. So, I decided to bundle up the songs and make it available here

Now all we need is Kernal EP and their first album, Headsparks. The 2 other Seam torrents (Problem With Me & Are You Driving me Crazy?) can be found by doing a search.

An editorial review from Amazon:

Quote:

Finally following up 1995's Are You Driving Me Crazy?, Sooyoung Park and his band of sensual feedback lovers return with The Pace is Glacial. The disc is reminiscent of Big Star's seminal #1 Record, starting out with zesty nuggets of guitar crunch before settling into a more somber, yearning mood by album's end. Like their friends in the Dambuilders and Superchunk, Seam know how to write a guitar hook that's disorienting on first listen, pleasant on the second, and downright addictive from the third. Park has finally conquered the dark atonal sounds of his previous outfit, the semilegendary Bitch Magnet, opting for lonely-boy emocore with a heart as big as his fretboard. Curiously titled tracks like "Little Chang, Big City" and "Intifada Driving School" live up to their enigma, scraping lush but loud sparks from stereophonic granite. Glacial or not, Pace is steady enough to win the race. --Jason Josephes

A fans review from Amazon:

Reviewer: Justin Baumgartner (Denver, IA) - See all my reviews The Pace Is Glacial is no match for the awesome The Problem With Me, but still a slightly-above average Seam album blows away most music I hear these days. Not every track on this album works, but when it does work, it gets it all right. Of particular note are "Get Higher", probably the most upbeat song on here, and "Inching Towards Juarez", a great quiet number that ever-so-slowly builds up its intensity. I've noticed on this album a move towards a more minimalist, quiet sound than in the past. But instead of losing their identity or getting boring, Seam is still, well, Seam. And while it often seems quite simple on the surface, there's more to it than you think. Not my favorite, but the more I play this album, the more I like it.
