Tapes Punakaiki by Antony Milton
Recorded in Punakaiki, a small beach town on the wild and rugged West Coast of the Sth Island of New Zealand in 2006. I consider this one of my best albums. It was originally scheduled for CD release on a label that after several years of promising imminent release eventually folded a few months back.
This release was intended as the first in a new series devoted to a subjective documenting of various NZ landscapes, of which the Arthurs Pass based 'Summit is Fragile' LP was the 2nd instalment. There are plans to record the next in the series next April in Central Otago.
