Science Fiction LP+7" Package Deal

from Stimulus Progression

RARE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PRIVATE PRESS AVANT GEMS FROM 1980 REISSUED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES.

The 12” LP, “Terrible Lizards” contains only two long form pieces at the intersection of Anton Bruckner and Gavin Bryars. The A-side, “Science Fiction” is made up entirely of bleary tape loop manipulations. Beautifully meditative spaces similar to William Basinski. On Side B, “…city of god” employs more tape loops, but with a more compositional sensibility. A woman’s voice on loop repeats the phrase, “Nature has entirely disappeared, we find ourselves in the city of god,” accompanied by a plaintive piano improvisation and a fuzzed out guitar solo a-la Eddie Hazel’s psychedelic meditation on Funkadelic’s “Maggot Brain.”

The 7” single, “Secret Agent Man” expresses an outsider pop oriented flipside to Science Fiction’s prowess with a haunting cover of the 1966 Barri & Sloan penned Johnny Rivers hit. Primitive programmed rhythm and bass, male and female vocals, a backwards guitar solo and other analog home studio trickery are presented within subtle and tasteful parameters. The instrumental B-side, “Breathless,” employing a similar approach, sounds as if it could have been an outtake from Eno’s “Another Green World.”

Both discs are presented in perfect replica of the original issues. The LP is on clear vinyl, silver ink on black printing, and includes liner notes and never before seen photos. The single is on white vinyl with a risograph printed cover. Both are limited edition 500 copies, hand numbered. Purchase includes download codes for both releases.
