winds sweep past the trees and past the houses...

here's a gem: jewelled antler collective's "Windswept Trees And Houses" compilation. this comp is full of great outsider folk and drone music from a collective of artists most of you should be familiar with (and if you are not, learn!) there are three really standout tracks on here (for me, at least) 1. the silt track. just awesome. 2. the knit separates track. it's really beautiful and a great way to end a comp. 3. the billy crosby's cover of Current 93's The Signs of Emptiness. that song was sad enough when tibet played it, but the warbly out of tune vocals give it another layer of emotion that makes you want to just cry a bit.

this is a good comp. here's the list of artists and titles (cribbed from discogs.com). sorry, no cover scans (i don't actually own a scanner, and there isn't anything of this on these here internets!)
