Daniel Patrick Quinn - The Winter Hills *** Daniel Patrick Quinn with Beano Jameson - Suilven 7 (ep)

This is the first Daniel Patrick Quinn album, released on his own record label, Suilven Records in 2003. Released as a two disc set, there is a split between vocal and instrumental numbers. All of the lyrical and musical themes Daniel developed throughout his solo recordings and his work with One More Grain are present in an embryonic form here. I try to avoid the music reviewers algebra, but in this case good points of reference are Brian Eno, Robert Wyatt and Mark E. Smith.

If anyone out there has any of Daniel Patrick Quinn's solo work, please do get in touch. The albums he released through Suilven were limited editions and since the dissoulution of the label and Daniel's move to Jakarta they are increasingly difficult to find. This is the only album I have managed to buy and I can't find any more through all the usual channels (amazon/ebay/itunes/spotify/blogs etc etc etc). The guy is a really rare talent and I think it would be good thing if more people could hear his music.
