Download: Philip Jeck - An Ark for the Listener

The kind of shit this album got me through:

“The fact that in the development of the productive powers of labour the objective conditions of labour, objectified labour, must grow relative to living labour––this is actually a tautological statement, for what else does growing productive power of labour mean than that less immediate labour is required to create a greater product, and that therefore social wealth expresses itself more and more in the conditions of labour created by labour itself?––this fact appears from the standpoint of capital not in such a way that one of the moments of social activity—objective labor—becomes the ever more powerful body of the other moment, of subjective, living labour, but rather—and this is important for wage labour—that the objective conditions of labour assume an ever more colossal independence, represented by its very extent, opposite living labour, and that social wealth confront labour in more powerful portions as an alien and dominant power.”
