after piles of privately released cdrs & long gone vinyl only releases,
here's the mv/ee album for the masses, who are no doubt quivering for
it... don⌐÷t be fooled though, this is neither the medicine show zone of
recent years, nor a mere echo of the tower recordings flame, but a new
beast stirring awake in the beaming sun of now. aided by the bummer road
and the omni present erika elder, mv has here pushed his cosmic sounds
beyond the apex of high. no doubt there's plenty of lifted rural raga
vibrations, and big woozy doses of haunted folk-blues as well, but the
mix of flat-out killer 'songs' and extended electric psych-outs is
something of a revelation. 'beautiful mountain' & 'sunshine girl' are
tantalizingly close to being something like modern underground hits,
while the side-long album closer 'death don't have to mercy' is an epic
head-spinning trip loaded with moments of fragile piano lull, layers of
serpentine acid guitars, and all-around smoky late-night jam vibes...
throughout the album both mv & ee's vocals are more present & stronger
then ever, and the harmonies have a real sweet lonesome glow... surely
the finest blossom yet from the mighty maximum arousal farm... features
matt valentine & erika elder with mo' jiggs, sparrow wildchild, nemo
bidstrup, tim barnes & samara lubelski adding harmonica, percussion,
flute, electric guitar, tambura, violin, ukelin, and more to the usual
assortment of mystic strings... packaged in a beautiful heavy old-style
gatefold cover with glossy laminated photo outside and silver on white
interior. classy sliver/black labels. analog saturation mastering by
wojcek czern, poland, for maximum aural radiance, and pressed on two
slabs of audiophile grade 180gm virgin vinyl. limited edition of 1000
copies.
double cd digital version with the same tracks/sequence as the 2lp.
miniature lp style heavy gatefold covers just like the vinyl version,
plus a nice insert, and woven japanese inner sleeves. first edition of
1000 copies.
