Album DescriptionJagjaguwar is excited to reissue Richard Youngs' Advent, his very first vinyl originally released in 1990 his own No Fans label. Only 300 LPs were released initially. It was then later released on the Table Of The Elements label and quickly went out of print. The record has became a true underground success story and a critical darling, with Alan Licht putting it on his "Minimal Top Ten" list in Halana. Simply put, it is essential. Excerpts from Richard Youngs? essay, accompanying the CD, provide the best backdrop to this very special record. Youngs has since become the king of the progressive minimalists and his output has remained prolific. Since 2000, he has released five full-length records on Jagjaguwar alone, in addition to multiple collaborations with other artists such as Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple), Simon Wickham-Smith and Neil Campbell.
