I still really like this record. It was recorded all over the place at different times and mixed on the fly. It's deliberately what I might call "unfriendly-psychedelic" and its overall sound is shaped by a lack of audio fidelity and consistency. It's mostly acoustic and very, very angular-warpy. It's what the inside of head sounds like. Overall it's a kind of a collision between John Fahey and John Mclaughlin sprinkled liberally with my lack of the technique of either of these giants of my universe. (Hence the meant-as-tribute-track "J.F.'s cat sits in the sunshine"). There are also some enhanced duets I did with Rowland S Howard (another of my favorite guitarists). We sat in London and just improvised duets every day for a fortnight way back around 1990.
Some very cool stuff still lying in the vaults...
