Release Notes:
ôNight and day, you are the one. Only you beneath
the moon or under the Jaguar Sunàö Now youÆre
messing with a sun of a bitch. LetÆs count backwards.
The second disc in this set ôQuetzalcoatlö diffuses
into the air an alien vocabulary of electronicesque
gargles and hums. A soundtrack made from the residue
left after a subterranean dowsing for the echoes of
collapsing stars. These disembodied post-transmissions
form up in a MinervaÆs Web of sunken Titanic ghosts,
slow moaning as from distant caverns. Disc one of the
set, ôTezcatlipocaö is the actual collapsing of stars.
Or, perhaps the exploding majesty of every dayÆs new
sun being reborn, as it once again defeats those
XibilbaÆs and rises to arc through its dominion again.
This monstrous soul goes from grumbling angrily to
mowing the heavens. Parts even cross into early Swans
territory with aggressively fractured pacing. But all
roads lead to the final track which is an epic length
doom metal anthem of sweating proportions. Wave after
wave of crushing fuzz slowly pummel speakers into
diamonds and rust. A relentless solar rotorvating
blasterpiece. Which brings us to part 3 of this 2 CD set.
Both CDÆs have been composed to also be played simult-
aneously, in a much more useable fashion than the
Zaireekas of the world. So, if ôTezcatlipocaö is over-
ground and ôQuetzalcoatlö is underground (or, more likely,
the reverse) their combination must be all thingsà.and
no things. Maybe the sound of the end of things. The
resultant juxtaposition is a colossal celestial being
smiling down on all he tramples.
TLDR;
Both CDÆs have been composed to also be played simult-
aneously.
