What is clearly evident upon listening to Labradford’s Prazision LP anew is that this is not a dated or stale work by any means. It could just as well have been recorded in 2003, or 1983 for that matter, as in 1993. It does not contain any of the markers so typical of pop music that would place it in any time frame, no production touches or instrumental sounds that would identify it as being the product of a specific period. At the very least, Labradford created a timeless work, one that still challenges the listener today. More to the point, they created a masterwork.
Prazision LP not only announced the arrival of Labradford, a new force in organized sound, but also set the standard for Kranky as the prime example of what would soon be the label’s forte; releasing challenging work that will stand the test of time.
The album has been given a proper mastering job for the first time, and the B side of their debut 7inch single has been added to the A side that appeared as an addendum on the original release.
