THREE MILE PILOT - Another Desert Another Sea  2xLP  

Cover - VG+ (slightly bumped corners, little edge wear)

Vinyl - EX (sounds great)

Three Mile Pilot's third full length album, released on Headhunter Records in 1997. 

This is from the 1st press, and it's way OUT OF PRINT on vinyl.

The jacket has a little edge wear and slightly bumped corners. Ring wear hasn't started yet, but almost showing. The vinyl sounds very, very good.

Amazing album that is super good all the way through and it sounds absolutely fantastic on vinyl.

Hard to find in this kind of shape. Get it!

Allmusic says:

Diversity is the name of the game on this San Diego-based indie legend's third major release -- that much is apparent from the bouncy optimism of the release's first track, “Way of the Ocean”, which is quite a departure from the dark overtones of their two previous works. In fact, the ocean and its multitudes form a thematic center of sorts for the aptly named Another Desert, Another Sea. “If You Cross”, while a straight-ahead rocker the likes of which Three Mile Pilot had heretofore avoided, is also a warning to avoid mythological and/or literal sirens at all costs (“Don’t look, don’t watch too close/You might see what you want to find/And it ain’t the answer to what you had in mind”). Meanwhile, “The Year of No Light”, one of many songs that highlight new addition Tobias Nathaniel’s piano, reads like a yin-yang exploration of a relationship in fear of drowning (“You can save me from the sea/Where I’ll play the devil and you can play the light”). There are two amazing songs featuring the term “wave” in their titles alone – “Eastern Wave” and “Glitter Wave” -- both rumbling jams that slow down just enough to kick-start themselves back into sonic overdrive, featuring characters in fear of the various surges that will submerge them in one or another form of imprisonment.

Like most of Three Mile Pilot’s work, it’s very hard to go wrong on Another Desert, Another Sea. While a couple of songs -- the more daring but hard-to-hook-onto “Bolivia” and “Kill the Race Horse” -- falter under their own ambition, it’s only because there are teeth-clenched barnburners like “Ruin” there to reinstall indie rock convention. It’s a long, strange trip Three Mile Pilot is taking you on here, and the twin comedown found in the confessional poignance of “Longest Day” and in the otherworldly denouement of the seven-minute (their only long song on the release) finale, “One False Eye”, is a one-two punch that might just have you firing the disc back up again. While some fans may feel that Another Desert, Another Sea is more direct than their more esoteric Chief Assassin to the Sinister, its mission was accomplished for Pall A. Jenkins and company, who want each one of their releases to function on its own. ~ Scott Thill, All Music Guide

[my grading standards taken from another seller]

SEALED record is in like new unopened condition believed to be mint under the shrink
NM I dont believe in MINT records...if its MINT it is SEALED in my opinion. NM then is as good as it gets like new but opened, I use this grading very rarely.
EX Sorry to mix up grading systems but I believe there is a place for an EX (its just a NM- or a VG++) for those clean records which are better than a regular VG+ but not flawless
VG+ This is the industry standard, a good clean record with minimal surface noise and one or two light surface scratches, cover might have some corner dings and ring wear starting but overall a good record similar to what you would find in the used bins of a local record shop.
VG Things are getting more worn here still a good player but visually showing wear and picking up some noise.
VG- Has a deep scratch or two visually rough also but plays through with pops and krackle.
G Not good at all, you have been warned
