Life's Hard And Then You Die ‎(LP). 207 881, 207 881-630. Life's Hard And Then You Die ‎(LP, Album).

But it's not all doom and gloom. Rope' is a joyous if cautionary romp with a genuinely memorable tune, and of course there's the classic 'Ed's Funky Diner' which makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it. seek out the video for this, it's a scream. Then there's 'Driving Away from Home' which is always described as a USA road movie transplanted into Liverpool: and that's what it is, drily witty as ever, what more can I say. 'Washing the Air' has a gorgeous Duane Eddy style guitar lick. 0"Life's Hard and Then You Die" by It's Immaterial. I realized that I remember seeing the cover in record stores in the late ‘80’s, but I had no recollection of the music.

This is a great album and I recommend it without reservation. When it was released, A&M ran a special promo in Billboard: send us a postcard and we'll send you the album. I sent in two postcards and received a cassette and vinyl record. My record player died and I've worn out two cassettes since that day in 1987.

Their first for Ghostly, It’s Immaterial follows up their EP Weight Against the Door (Hardly Art) and highly acclaimed debut full-length A Different Arrangement (Hardly Art). Still featuring Chris Stewart at the helm along with select collaborators as supplementation, the project's recent shift in locale from East Coast to West Coast lends a great deal to the overall feel of the new album: the light and dark elements of shadows, the salt and sting of evening’s high tide sea spray, a beautiful thing left on a shelf too high to maintain  .
