PILCHER, JOHN & MCKELVEY, MARTIN - A Bun Dance

The Eagle Has Strayed in this 48-minute opus of lunar musique concrete right out of the late 1960s in Hastings, New Zealand. These squiggly, prescient jams emerge on the very 40th anniversary of Apollo 11s inaugural moonlanding, having originally sampled and plunged that stuttering, televized transmission into another sea of tranquility and magnificent desolation right out here in an even more remote solar system. Pilchers periperal figure hangs ghostlike out on the edge of the front cover next to a poster of The Beatles HELP! semaphore (theyre not even spelling HELP by the way), Its a revealing allusion to the radically warped jams that were already taking place Out Here, a preamble for the winding genealogy of the countrys later musical lab tests. Stellar tapezones joyously light years ahead of time. -Dungeon Taxis. "Originally slated for release on Corpus Hermeticum (Bruce Russell from the DEAD Cs label) until that project went dormant.."
