Artist: SUN CITY GIRLS
Title: Bright Surroundings Dark Beginnings
Label: MAJORA
Format: CD
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: MAJ 7002
2nd CD in the Majora reissue program, this was the 7th Sun City Girls album, first issued on LP-only in 1993. It contains just three long tracks, opening with the ultra-gorgeous Eastern-laced ballad "The Venerable Song (The Meaning Of Which Is No Longer Known) -- a track which features a throbbing Alan Bishop bass-line mantra, much exotic Charles Gocher percussion and some unbelievably gliding lip numbness in the vocal dept. -- one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in modern music. "Omani Red Light" is one of those staggering trio cuts where Rick Bishop takes off for outer limits guitar-wise, heavily psychedelic and emotionally expressive, easily blowing away so much "real" psych that we all have to wade through. The final track is "The Multiple Hallucinations of an Assassin" -- a glowing improv-rock instrumental piece of perfectly intense resonance. The sequencing gives you an ideal feel for the mesmerizing frequencies this band was intent on emitting during the height of their live activity years, an era in American music when they were as threatening, confounding and potentially awe-inspiring as anyone that could be named. Yet another classic document.


Artist: DETROIT, EDDY
Title: Immortal Gods
Label: MAJORA
Format: CD
Price: $13.00
Catalog #: MAJ 7003
CD reissue of the first (of two) self released albums put out by Eddy Detroit (his third album would come out many years later on Majora, Jungle Captive, in 1997. Very exotic cult folk and primitive rock album, led by the irrepressible vocal presence of Eddy. "A reissue of more material from the early 80's Phoenix underground music scene, contemporary with Paris 1942; this time none other than the first LP by Eddy Detroit... this was self released in 1982 and has been pretty impossible to find for quite a few years. Featuring an all star lineup including Mary and Dan Clark (Victory Acres), Charlie Gocher and Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls), James Verlaine (aka J. Akkari from Paris 1942) and others, this has turned out to be one of my favorite records documenting a scene I pissed away a whole lot of my just barely post adolescence loitering in and around." -- Nick Schultz.


Artist: TOTAL
Title: Here, Time Is Space
Label: MAJORA
Format: 2LP
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: MAJ HER
1994 release. This is the 3rd Total album, following the stunning Beyond the Rim debut and the Sky Blue Void CD on Freek Records UK. Total is the solo project of Skullflower's Matthew Bower, and here he presents 4 sides of long, glorious washes of guitar noise splendor.


Artist: Q, LESLIE
Title: The Casual Plane
Label: MAJORA
Format: LP
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: MAJ LQ2
Second solo album of spectacular personal intimation; absolutely hammered acoustic guitar mantra-esque tunes and enchanting droned vocals on top. This is a sound for many unanswered dreams.


Artist: Q, LESLIE
Title: Presque Vu!
Label: MAJORA
Format: LP
Price: $8.00
Catalog #: MAJ PRE
Leslie Q is a new discovery from Tennessee I believe, who records songs in a solo bedroom style that are startling in their immediacy, power and ability to fly out of the known universe. Really rough textured acoustic guitar, insanely personal vocals, perfectly realized individualistic style. While Lou Guru and the rest of the Lo-fi-kill-me-now generation feverishly scour their Boy's Life back issue set-collections for subject matter and inspiration, it's nice to hear somebody maintain & actually add to the Real Person cannon.
