Originally released in 2003. "Double CD from this NYC/Portland/Vancouver collective of out there ambient skronk space explorers. Recorded on their breakout European tour from the fall of 2002, this set shimmers and builds, masterfully weaving tension with ease. All the best tracks and improvisations boiled down to 2 CDs of tripped-out bliss. This release is a jump from Jackie-O's recent release, Change on the French Label Textile. Covering a wide array of the sonic land, from psychedelic space rock, sax freak-outs, and layers of sound decaying & blooming."

"Brand new reissue of an impossible-to-find early Canadian electronic 4LP box by composer Phillip Werren. Only 100 copies were ever pressed of his early electronic work. It was recorded at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver), McGill University (Montreal) & Radio Warzawa (Poland). It was recorded between 1967 and 1971. The LP has heavy elements of tape collage, Modular Synthesis, voice, and experimental thought. Some of the pieces were conceived by psychedelic and occult influences. Much of the record was done with a Buchla System 100, the first of their modular synthesizers. Original cover artwork was created by local Vancouver artist JAS Felter. This album is a nugget of Canadian psychedelic avant-garde history, up there with the early works of Bill Bissett, The Nihilist Spasm Band, and Intersystems. Also in line with early American works by Robert Ashley, Tod Dockstader, and Gordon Mumma. More currently, this would sit nicely with an oddball release by Wolf Eyes, Double Leopards or Excepter."
