"Levitate (Expanded+Remastered 2CD Edition)" by The Fall is a lavishly expanded and carefully remastered reissue of one of the band's most daring late-90s albums, presented here as a 2-CD set. Originally released at a time of creative and personal upheaval, "Levitate" captures The Fall in a particularly experimental phase: abrasive post-punk structures, lo-fi electronics, hypnotic grooves and Mark E. Smith's unmistakable, acerbic voice collide to create a tense, restless sound world. This expanded edition adds a wealth of bonus material - including rare tracks, alternate versions and session recordings - that illuminate the development of the album and offer a deeper dive into this turbulent but inspired era of the band.
The remastering brings new clarity and punch to the recordings without sacrificing the raw edge that has always defined The Fall. Guitars sound more incisive, bass lines gain definition, and the more experimental textures and rhythmic shifts stand out with renewed intensity. The carefully curated track sequencing across the two CDs allows listeners to experience both the original album flow and an extended archive of complementary material, making this edition equally attractive for long-time fans and curious newcomers who want to explore one of the group's more challenging yet rewarding works.
The Fall, formed in late-1970s England and led throughout by the singular figure of Mark E. Smith, are one of the most influential and idiosyncratic bands to emerge from the post-punk movement. Over a vast discography spanning decades, they became known for their constant stylistic evolution, sharp social commentary, hypnotic repetition and a fiercely independent attitude. Their output has inspired countless alternative and indie artists, and albums from different phases of their career are regularly cited as cult classics within underground and experimental rock circles. "Levitate" stands as a document of their tireless drive to push boundaries, even deep into their career.
This edition is released by Cherry Red, a respected independent label with a long tradition of carefully curated reissues, archival projects and specialist catalogues across post-punk, new wave, prog, indie and beyond. Cherry Red is renowned for its attention to detail in packaging, liner notes and audio restoration, often working closely with artists' archives to present definitive editions of important albums. With "Levitate (Expanded+Remastered 2CD Edition)", the label once again underlines its reputation for giving vital, forward-thinking music the archival treatment it deserves, offering a definitive version of a key chapter in The Fall's complex, ever-evolving story.
