Homemade Alien Music Volume – 2: ancient astronauts: Phinney / McGee (comic-book + CD-R)

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
