PR I : Lucid Pyramids - demo I cs
(http://images.cdn.bigcartel.com/bigcartel/product_images/124990734/max_h-1000+max_w-1000/lucpyr_1.JPG)
Primitive basement noise. 1 side of earlier raw, clanging experimentation while the other consists of more current harsh sounds and loops. The base beginnings of prodding into alchemic sound.
c32, sealed containing 8x10 1/2" mini-poster.
60 made
PR II : Lace - Supine cs
(http://images.cdn.bigcartel.com/bigcartel/product_images/124990782/max_h-1000+max_w-1000/lace1.jpg)
The first recorded effort by Lace, one piece of evolving mournful noise. Walls of static raise and crumble, giving way to painful cries and churning loops. All is lost.
Limited copies available.
one-sided c40, sealed containing 8x10 1/2" mini-poster.
30 made
All orders will ship within 1-2 weeks, guaranteed.
