    Mike Johnson: house, vocal utterances and a little bit of guitar.

    Recorded one day in the summer of 1980 at Bradford's house, Denver Colorado, on a Teac 3340 4-track and mixed to cassette. The mixer was an 8-channel early 70's Sunn Magna, microphones were the standard SM57-58's, and a pair of early 70's Radio Shack Realistic condenser mics. The "noisebox" is a thing I built from the remains of an old portable cassette recorder by re-wiring bits of it in the wrong way.

    I made a special set for this because I still think it is a very interesting improvisation which captured a genuinely strange atmosphere. Those of you familiar with Thinking Plague's first album might recognise a bit of track one here; we used a few minutes of it during the break on the song "Thorns of Blue and Red".
