Emitt Rhodes is the second album by Emitt Rhodes, released in 1970. Rhodes recorded the album in his home studio. At the time, union rules required that recordings released on major labels must be recorded in proper studios, so the fact that this was a home recording could not be mentioned on the cover. The runout groove of the original LP release on Dunhill Records contained a decorative banner proclaiming, "Recorded at Home." Rhodes wanted to call the album Homecooking, but Dunhill decided to title it Emitt Rhodes. Rhodes recorded the instruments on a four-track recorder and then approached Dunhill, who gave him a contract. He transferred the four-track instrumental recordings to an eight-track recorder to add the vocals on the four additional channels (and using a better microphone). The album reached number 29 on the Billboard album chart. The single "Fresh as a Daisy" reached number 54 on the Hot 100. Billboard later called the album one of the "best albums of the decade". The song "Lullabye" was featured in the film The Royal Tenenbaums.
Moreish Idols have carved out a unique position for themselves in the burgeoning London scene. Whereas their debut material showcased a restless, jerky, jagged and rhythmically centred sound that bore the influence of energetic post-punk, their second EP showcased an entirely different side to the band. This evolution saw the group stitch together a looser constellation of ideas, combining swooning tremolo guitars, prickly melodic riddles, erudite saxophone improvs, and flexible rhythms, sounding like Watery, Domestic-era Pavement one second and the bucolic Canterbury Scene the next, but always, always like Moreish Idols most of all.
"All In The Game" is filled with Dan Carey's eccentric production ideas, largely inspired by the concept of time. For the title-track, Carey asked Humphreys to play the same saxophone part at different tempos, recording onto tape which was itself moving at different speeds. He also suggested splitting one of the demo tracks in half, with the first half played as the opening track "Ambergrin", and the second as the slower, less saturated outro "Time's Wasting": designed to sound like a memory of the former. A nod to their debut EP "Float" – which can be played on a continuous loop – the return of the track in this more ethereal, ghostly form captures how ideas, stories and observations are changed by the process of remembering.
