about

Inspired by the chapter titles in a pulp science fiction novel by A. E. Van Vogt, these recordings are entirely keyboard-based. It was decided to play all the parts live and use multi-track recording instead of sequencing, which has removed the precision and lent a sense of immediacy. These eerie pieces of atmospheric sound are both compelling and compulsive in their exploration of rhythms.

Originally released by Pumf Records in 1993 on cassette, with an option for a CD-R version introduced around 2000, and still available from Pumf Records. To buy a tangible copy go to www.batcow.co.uk/pumf/pumf.htm#196.
