A Gradual Understanding is a generous sampling of gems from the legendary home-made cassettes of Glenn Brown. Originally released in tiny micro-batches under a bewildering barrage of pseudonyms and non-existent band names, this is the first time this material is easily accessible to the general public. By no means a "best-of" or an authoritative retrospective, A Gradual Understanding is a handy introduction to the Harpoon legend and much cheaper than tracking down those original tapes on Ebay.
