"You may think you know something about legendary poet, painter, singer and sculptor Malcolm Mooney and perhaps you do. But until you hear this LP, you are missing what may be the best part of the story to date. Worshipers of the Can's Monster Movie and other recordings from the Mooney years (1968-1970) are legion and we at Milvia Son count ourselves amongst those fans. So we were intrigued when we heard that the Tenth Planet's orbit was once again merging with that of the earth, with the objective this time around to perform only classic Mooney-era Can material. Our toes lifted in our boots when we learned that this incarnation of the Tenth Planet featured the dueling guitars of Stephen Clarke (Arkansaw Man) and Len Paterson (Flowtilla), bassist Peter Conheim (Negativland) and drummer Marc Weinstein (MX-80). And when we eventually heard the music, well, our boots were blown off. We greeted the dawn of another silvery day in the history of West Coast head music: guitar-woven tapestries of molten metal, lubricious rhythms and Malcolm's inimitable vocals lifting everything up into that special sector. The bad politics were erased from our minds. The album includes eight choice tracks culled from two Bay Area shows circa 2010, excellently recorded by Bernice Nippelhalter and pressed onto glorious blue spattered vinyl. Full color sleeves featuring Mal's artwork on the front and back, plus a lyric sheet inside so you can read along with the music (not recommended while dancing). 400 vinyl-only copies for the world, priced for all the music lovers whose dough has not yet hardened."
