about

In 1987 I collected a group of home recordings that I considered least likely to ever be released by any record label anywhere, and sent them to Greg Ginn at SST records. They were weirdo instrumentals that seemed doomed to disappear into the ether...but Greg suggested I take some musicians into Third Wave Studios in Redondo Beach and record an album.
I had met Kenny Lyon through Nina Hagen and he introduced me to drummer Greg Ellis: two of the most stunning musicians I've ever had the pleasure of working with. And they suggested we bring in Rob McKenzie to play some additional guitar on a few songs; another true witch. Two of the songs also had massive contributions from the illustrious Geza X.
Thanks to Alex Sandoval for the WAV files he made from the vinyl. I left a few pops just for the organic...thanks to I. Niemand for the spectacular artwork...and thanks to Greg Ginn, not just for allowing this album to exist, but also for helping the 80s to be musically bearable!
