LIGHT-TURNING, WURLITZER JUKEBOX, L.P., 1996, U.K.

light



Amazing 1996 release by sometimes Amp & FSA collaborator. UK based artist who recently released his John Peel sessions which are also fantastic and can be found via Unlabel. He borrowed gear (including Dave FSA's 4-track) to make this recording happen. For us it embodies everything a great spacerock album should have. its super lush and beautiful drifting vocals are quite a treat. Dave suppossedly ad's a hand on the B-side of this record, either that or Light summons the aid FSA 4-track ghosts to chime in... theres a 7" with the title track "Turning" on Wurlitzer Jukebox worth getting as well. both LP and 7" are pretty limited and hard to find these days... a pillar in the uk lo-fi spacerock catalog of releases. beautiful...

2.3 CHILDREN- THREE S/T 7", 1982, U.S.A

2.3












































2.3 children hail from san francisco these three 7 inches were on penguin records all dated 1982, 2.3 make some very strange, creepy and hilarious music "other peoples l.p.'s" for example is arguably an overlooked funnier than all hellbent classic for any record nut, other favorites include "drunk in the afternoon" and "harry bop slow" although relevance of these folks is some what an obscure topic i imagine 2.3 sharing couch with the residents, chrome and other s.f. comrades serving up the same brand of neo political or not.. wacked out lunacy!! i believe these three 7 inchers to be there complete discography however any help or info on the group would be very welcomed.... if you are in the mood for a laugh or just want to hear some very interesting and bizarre music give em a try.

SIDDHARTHA BY HERMAN HESSE-CASSETTE, 1995, U.S.A

siddhartha







one of my very favourite recordings of all the ages

I hope my daughter will hear these songs when she is 16 or around the age i was given this cassette by tim dewit in kalamazoo michigan circa. 1995 and i hope she can listen with the same sense of innocence and magic that i did that summer..a beautiful document of home and field recordings recorded in grand rapids michigan washington d.c. and portland oregon, streets sounds, resonant piano, beautifully delivered minuscule guitar parts ringing huge and true in the church halls of an old beat up four track capturing the summer perfectly for me anyway, forever.

nathan maddox/ we listened to this tape incessantly.

tim went on to play drums for cranium, gang gang dance and stints with white magic and neil michael hagerty to name a few.

a cryptic and magical journey, i feel almost protective of this cassette like a favourite hat or a song your grandpa sang you about fishing down a crawdad hole.

I hope you can hold it as close to your heart as i do mine.
