“At first it kinda reminded me of Xenakis’ electronic stuff or Conrad’s darker synth stuff, but then it went into this avant guitar drone jam like if Earth and AMM had a baby ….” – our friend Tiago

Please hit the HQ button on this; it comes across a lot more clearly

A hallucinatory montage by David Lee Price titled “Carbage Goma,” with Zanzibar Snails producing the soundtrack. The audio is taken from a live performance by a five-piece lineup feat. Price, Seth Sherman & Josh McWhirter ... a chanting, clattering cry for help giving narrative to Price’s shifty, swirling ode to the primeval takeover of a technocratic society by a battalion of mutated Hervay Villachaize clones & his pet cadre of mutant wombat larva sporting oversized women’s sunglasses.

Audio 4 tracks, 53 minutes
DVD 26 minutes-plus


$10 postpaid U.S.
