This postal
collaboration was recorded between October 1997 and March 1998. There`s ten
songs on this here album (total running time = 71.25 minutes). I heard a lot of
Hal McGee`s material and he does a lot of improvising. As I`m listening to this
for the first time I`m highly impressed. The music is incredible. Lots of
instrumental music styles are at work: drifting ambient noise with
electroacoustic elements thrown in (through the inter-dimensional
portal), low-fi ambient minimalism (Nazca), low-fi minimal
electronics (plutonium mining and silver disks over the
jewelled city), experimental ambient noise (return of the star
people), ambient noise with zone in / out noise bytes (Chichen Itza),
droning ambience mixed with percussive elements (crop circles at
Stonehenge), psychedelic ambient noise (vimanas), and spacey
electronics (Tiahuanaco and the great pyramid). Musically you can
smell / feel a couple of old scholl influences: Neu, Popol Vuh and perhaps
Tangerine Dream. This baby comes with a 8.5 by 11, black and white, 16 pages
comic-book, courtesy of BobX (from Memphis Tennessee). http://www.lambiek.net/artists/b/bob_x.htm
