Davenport, Bart
Game Preserve (yellow)
Bart Davenport's early explorations on his 'Game Preserve' album should gain an appreciative new audience with its first ever vinyl release after 20 years. In the year 2000, Bay Area troubadour Bart Davenport and several other musicians were recruited by a major tech corporation in Seattle to work on an algorithm-based music matching/search engine. It was what looked like the beginning of a promising career. After a year, however, the project was shelved. Bart and his colleagues were laid off with a healthy severance package. On the 12th of September, 2001, not only had the musician's life changed, so had the world. Rather than blow the money on a holiday or new car, Bart knew he had to make a record. A proper album that meant something. Comes on mustard yellow vinyl.
