The record, first released in 1983, features one of Nurse With Wound's earliest collaborations with David Tibet of Current 93. The album title is a reference to Swedish authors Vilhelm Carlheim- Gyllenskoeld, Gustaf af Geijerstam, and Viktor Rydberg.

The two-CD set features a deluxe six-panel digipak and adds to the the original recording an entire disc of previously unreleased material. Most interesting for Nurse fans may be the bonus version of "Two Shaves and a Shine" which contains all the elements listeners will need to take and create their own mix. Absolutely essential!

As a testament to the random disorder and beauty of life, London's Nurse with Wound (Steve Stapleton) functioned outside the normal musical channels for a decade, experimenting with tape collages of disjointed phrases, improvised music, electronics and found sounds on a series of intriguing, provocative, humorous and frequently entertaining self-released records. Between 1978 and 1988, Stapleton collaborated with such likeminded sonic adventurers as David Tibet of Current 93 and Tony Wakeford of Sol Invictus to produce a prodigious body of work that embraces surrealism in both content and graphics.

Musically, Homotopy is a brilliant example of Stapleton's tape editing and manipulation, producing a disturbing avant-garde collage that remains a stunning listen!

Homotopy has been out of print for a few years and appears now with newly designed artwork in a six-panel digipack. This issue has also corrected the misplaced track index points which marred previous CD reissues.

Stapleton and Andrew Liles form the core of the band on Huffin' Rag Blues, and the direction to which they are heading is the lounge! Huffin' Rag Blues is unlike any Nurse With Wound album in recent memory as they veer into the space-age bachelor pad. Guest vocalists Lynn Jackson and Freida Abtan channel Peggy Lee, while Matt Waldron also lends his golden pipes to one song. This is truly exotica as imagined by the twisted genius that is Nurse With Wound.

Recorded in 2002 by Steven Stapleton and electronic studio wizard Colin Potter, this is a landmark recording in the field of contemporary electronic music. Best known for founding the legendary UK cassette only label, ICR, Potter has also recorded with Current 93, Organum, Jonathan Coleclough, and Ora. The piece was originally intended to provide aural ambience to an exhibit at London's Horse Hospital gallery, and a truncated version appeared on the Music for the Horse Hospital CD compilation. Restored here to its hour-plus running time, the music becomes much more of a foreground-listening experience. Orchestral-like chords flutter back and forth like ships lost at sea while the sounds of passing cars, boat horns, and creaking doors slowly gather momentum in the background. At around the fifty-minute mark all the extraneous sounds are cut short, leaving only the droning chords and the sound of water. It's a stunning effect and quite different than the dense maximalism of earlier albums.

The reissue is packaged in a lavish new digipak featuring the artwork of Ruby Wallis and Babs Santini.

Hailed as a masterpiece on release, it soon became a firm favorite of NWW fans and topped the world ambient chart for over three months!

Originally a limited-edition three-album set housed in a handsome 12-inch gold and black foil embossed box, this new edition, a CD facsimile of the original vinyl set, contains the entire album plus 40 minutes of superb quality, previously unreleased music from the original sessions. A gold foil blocked cover and new parchment insert makes this one of United Jnana's most elegant and desirable releases to date.

Soliloquy For Lilith, Nurse With Wound's best selling work... like Sylvie and Babs, is a one-off in the Nurse discography. Originally comprised of six songs for Stapleton's daughter, one on each side of the 3xLP set, the music... is... haunting and otherworldly... and sits head and shoulders above any other ambient or drone work at that time. Created though a chance meeting between a series of guitar FX pedals which generated strange tones and voices that seem to emerge from the ether... almost subterranean or oceanic in feel, the long, twenty-minute-plus tracks take meditative music into a new strata. That's not to say this isn't good for active listening, on the contrary when given full attention the tracks seem to evolve and precipitate more aural wonders with each listen.... --Kavenism.com

• Deluxe 3xCD packaging features gold foil blocked cover and parchment paper insert
  
• Contains 40-plus minutes of previously unreleased material from the original sessions
  
• Topped world ambient charts for three weeks upon release in 1988
