2012 – Lex Records publishes a two-piece version of Unearthing as a audio recording and a book. For lots of photos, please see the my absolute collection blog post.
The audio is an LP/CD box set. On the audio Moore was accompanied by “Crook & Flail” which Lex Records describes as “a partnership between Andrew Broder and Adam Drucker. Broder is the multi-instrumentalist behind the band Fog whilst Drucker’s adventures under his Doseone solo guise – and within cloudead, Themselves and Subtle – have seen him explore spoken word and the outer reaches of rap. Together the pair have enlisted an impressive array of talented collaborators, including; Stuart Braithwaite of Scottish post-rockers Mogwai, drummer Zach Hill from acclaimed experimental band Hella, the trailblazing and prolific Justin Broadrick of Napalm Death, Godflesh and Jesu and pioneering alt-rock hero and Faith No More frontman Mike Patton.”
The book is available as a regular paperback version, and an oversized hardcover version. The hardcover was limited to 1,500 copies. 300 copies of the oversized version were pre-sold and include signed and numbered bookplates.
