Much needed archival Sandy Bull release, recorded on the same night as
Water's John Fahey set (The Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick, in 1969.
Elegant packaging, with great liner notes from Byron Coley and booklet
photography from Baron Wolman. Bull was one of the most seminal string
instrumentalists of the past 50 years, but you can still tally his
entire discography on less than 2 full hands (and the most imporant
albums -- E Pluribus Unum, Fantasias, Inventions -- fucking Vanguard
can't even be bothered to keep in print!) -- so any addition is
something to behold. "Sandy Bull is known for some of the first
extended instrumental compositions for guitar that incorporated
elements of folk, jazz, and Indian and Arabic-influenced dronish modes.
This album, taken from two nights of performances in February 1969
recorded at San Francisco's legendary Matrix, finds Bull experimenting
with guitar electronics, as well as working out on the acoustic
instruments that were the mainstay of his Vanguard Records Fantasias
and Inventions albums. Deluxe packaging features rare photos and
detailed liner notes."
