Vinyl: vg+ (few faint scuffs)
Cover: ex- (sticker residue spot on front, small tear on back) description:
Ultra-rare and mega-weird limited edition private pressing of psych/electronic/Xian/spoken word madness composed and performed by Dilulio (pictured on the back cover in front of a wall of synth gear) and written and narrated by Kerr, with awesome satanic skull cover art. Here we have insane apocalyptic narration over beds of crazy musique concrete sound effects and lush synthesizer drones, and instrumental guitar psych/prog rock interludes. You'll hear electronic depictions of hell and its usual goings-on (wild orgies, Satan laughing, tortuous insects, etc.) and then the additional sinfulness of "the world of afterward", an "afterbirth of hell" where humanity runs rampant raping and pillaging each other, and, finally, a rebirth of a pure and good world overseen by god... really strange stuff! Limited to 500 copies, this one is signed and numbered on the back by Kerr. As the narration of a journey from life to death this lp definitely evokes comparisons to Pierre Henry's Le Voyage, while the use of processed vocals combined with early synths suggests Ruth White, and the psych-rock influence ties it all to the lineage of Mort Garson's occult-exploito Moog albums or Bruce Haack in Electric Lucifer mode. This will also be of interest to fans of Jean-Jacques Perrey, Jean-Michelle Jarre, Tom Dissevelt, Robert Moog, Donald Buchla, Dick Hyman, Claude Denjean, Gershon Kingsley, ARP, Bernard Krause, Paul Beaver, DJ Shadow, Ken Nordine, Terence McKenna, Roger Roger, Cecil Leuter, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, Vincent Price, Arch Oboler, Orson Welles, Negativland, Invisibl Skratch Piklz, DJ Shadow, Mix Master Mike, Kid Koala, Jon Appleton, Ilhan Mimaroglu, William S. Burroughs, Bernard Parmegiani, etc. Check out my other items for more avant garde/experimental, early electronic/electroacoustic, prog, psych, space-age pop, 20th century classical, spoken word, and artist records.
