about

This is a particularly vulnerable re-release for me given the long story behind it. I put even more into this album and I abandoned the project soon after to start making techno. The process of this one broke me and though there were 50 copies of the LP that floated around (out of 100, it was supposed to be 300) and everything about the roll out was botched and didn't even come completely to fruition for another 2 years. Here it is. It's been on streaming for awhile but I don't have the upload codes and the person who ran that label disappeared. So here you go.

Special thanks to the late Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) for believing in this one enough to get it out there even a little bit.
