This is a genuine solid lost classic album, no really. Just grab it and we can chat in the comments should youse bums be desirous!
Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

ReplyDeleteThank you sir.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Stanley. This is the CD edition with slewage o' xtry tracks, and they're very worthwhile, unlike most.
DeleteSpider Barbour from Chrysalis was one of the voices used on Lumpy Gravy (as Farq mentioned in previous FZ post). According to my ‘extensive research’ a pair of U-87 microphones was placed in a piano for several days to record the participants response to FZ suggested topics, many hours was recorded. In 1994 much of the unused material appeared on the Synclavier heavy Civilization Phase III album.
ReplyDeleteBack in the infancy of the internet, I located Mr. Barbour and we emailed a couple of times. He's a very respected leptidop - lepitopder - insect expert. His sleevenotes to this album are hauntingly beautiful (no, really) and I should try to track them down.
DeleteHere's the link to the lp on discogs, and the page where it has photos of everything that was the album package. You can expand the back of the lp and get a more readable version of the notes. Also has a photo of the sleeve notes. https://www.discogs.com/master/531539-Chrysalis-Definition/image/SW1hZ2U6NjY4OTk3MTM=
DeleteThanks Mr Mac!

De nada, querido amigo.
DeleteThis is a different page to the one I lifted the back cover from, but it's the same blurry (to me) image I can't read. It's not often that sleeve notes are worth reading.
DeleteA fine album indeed and one has to wonder how Mr Barbour's music developed after that? He did indeed become a member of a band called the Curmudgeons in the 1990's and they in turn produced an album of 16 Barbour penned songs called 'I Hear A Dog' in 1997.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has access to a copy it may well be worthy of a listen?

DeleteI think I need this album if ever I'm going to sleep again. Can some brave soul have a look inside Soulsuck?
I've been listening to the Chrysalis album, and it's a winner, in that I'm not sure if I like it, but want to listen again. Weird in a very good way. Some of my favourite albums, I disliked on first playing. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's not quite like anything else. In a good way.
