There was nothing in contemporary music like Chris Isaak's Heart

Shaped World when it hit shelves in June 1989. More than three

decades later, the singer-songwriter's third album still sounds unique.

Home to the Top 10 smash "Wicked Game," the brooding set remains

a masterful mood piece that invites you to pour a late-night drink and

relish Isaak's elegant albeit raw ruminations on love, relationships,

and questionable decisions. For all the melodrama and sadness at

hand, Isaak's baritone dives deep underneath emotional surfaces.

He mines subtleties that go beyond heartbreak and anguish,

and occasionally suggest frustration, menace, and anger. The

contributions of his backing band, anchored by the brilliant playing of

guitarist James Calvin Wilsey, seamlessly match his patient deliveries

and cool command.

Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record

Pressing, and featuring the bonus track "Diddley Daddy," Mobile

Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set of Heart

Shaped World unearths the staggering inner details, saturated

tones, and extraordinary atmospherics of the crisp production. This

demonstration-grade reissue brings you up close and personal

with Isaak's spectacular singing - impeccably controlled, tense,

brooding, steamy, smoldering, haunted - situated amidst strippeddown backdrops that allow every note to fully bloom and decay. The

record's lonesome temperaments and pensive themes have never

been more hypnotic on vinyl. As Isaak croons on the title track:

"Trouble going down." Indeed.
