Placement

Welcome to our site.
Originating in a collaboration between Lime Green Yellow label-mates Giles Jacobs and Simon Baker, Placement released their first album back in 2000.
'Our Man In High Places' was a mixture of studio and field recordings, that were layered into slabs of musical place building. The idea being, to try and form virtual representations of real, or imagined situations in the listeners minds-eye. The Himalayan subject matter projected, as with radio, to be seen and felt in the imagination.
Originally available via the Lime Green Yellow website and a select bunch of independent record shops the early copies soon sold out, so the decision was made to keep going. Since that time the duo have been working on a follow-up album alongside other projects. Tasks such as thunder storm recording obviously require an open ended deadline, especially when combined with wine-glass-harmonium building and bathroom sound systems.
The resulting 'Marine Africa' offers a change of continent and a variation of scale. Both a light aircrafts-eye view and a landed and magnified detail. Rich in texture, darkly beautiful and transporting, this album is currently nearing release. However, if anyone is interested in an advanced CDR, or of obtaining a copy of the first album, they can do so via this site, or by writing to us at;
