The Black Ships (now Black Submarine) - Kurofune EP (crushed early master)

Dedicated to newly dubbed "The Reanimator" and creator of the Lucem Paradox guitar, Graham Skimming. Seen hiding behind the headstock of the featured guitar.
This guitar (93 Les Paul Standard, key guitar with The Verve) fell silent on the 8th November 2007, thanks to Graham's craft this is this instrument's first utterance.
14th November, 2017.
Chain: risen from dead Gibson Les Paul straight into C.Agnew 5f1 clone amp, no effects, processing or reverb. Captured with AT4050 straight into Sound Devices 702.
