BASS COMMUNION - Chiaroscuro

A deluxe limited edition CD release of a recording of the first (and to date only) live performance of SW as Bass Communion in Antwerp in November 2008. The complete 38 minute performance is included on this CD, along with the Bass Communion side of the split 7 inch single given away to attendees of the show. The CD comes in the now traditional Bass Communion package of a beautiful thick card Japanese style mini LP gatefold sleeve, with a fantastic Carl Glover design, including a picture of SW on stage during the performance inside the gatefold. The CD will not be widely available and SW’s own mail order company Headphone Dust will be the primary outlet.
