Glyph (album)
Glyph is the second studio album by American rock band Floater, released in May 1995. The album was engineered and mixed by the Grammy-nominated Drew Canulette (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Neil Young). "Glyph" received a preliminary Grammy nomination in the category of Best Alternative Performance. The album was initially intended to be an EP featuring leftover songs that never made it onto the "Sink" album. Some of the tracks, such as "The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy", "The Face of Order", and "Dead", were previously recorded on the "Sink" demo tape prior to the release of the "Sink" album . Later, though, additional tracks were added, blending the entire album into one complete, seamless audio experience. "The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy" received national radio play on Z Rock stations. The album is also the first time that Peter Cornett debuted a track featuring his vocals. "Bottle" would not be his last either, as he again appeared on the "Acoustics" album. Two versions of Glyph are known to exist. The first press, which had a very limited release, has the same artwork as on both albums, but the fonts appear to be a white Arial, with "Floater" and "Glyph" on  the cover, and no title on the disc. The disc artwork matches the artwork found on the cover. The inside tray also has the same artwork as the cover. The fourth track "Silt" was renamed "Midnight Ride" when released on the second pressing, and was six seconds longer than "Midnight Ride". The second press, which is the most common, has a yellow/gold font and shows an Egyptian hieroglyph which represents rejoicing, support, or exaltation, the same is on the disc art. The inside tray art is different and has the glyph symbol with a different background than the original  release. Some of the earlier releases of the second press of "Glyph" also included a paper flyer (the same size as the cover) inserted with the disc promoting the previous album "Sink". The original first pressing was of 500 copies.
