2013 release. An edited and remastered issue of a tape by the Idea Fire Company quartet, originally released in 2005 - Scott Foust, Karla Borecky, Jessi Swenson & Meara O'Reilly. Rags To Riches is a live record documenting pieces from 2003 through 2005. It showcases some top-shelf unreleased works; "The Whole World," "Metropolis," and "The Bitter End." Older material is also included; a fierce version of "Artificial" from 2005's Stranded, as well as the notorious "Cycle-19." Additionally, there is a beautiful voice-based rendition of "Some Of Us" by Idea Fire Company comrades' The Shadow Ring. All these pieces exhibit a contemplative and well-informed use of electronics, radio, and voice interlaced with spoken title announcements in French, punching typewriter passages and audience dialogue. Their mechanical and uncompromising aesthetic is pronounced, as Rags To Riches reminds us all why Idea Fire Company are such an important contemporary outfit. Edition of 285. Includes color insert with an essay by Scott Foust.
