* THE CULT TAPE GETS A SMALL RUN VINYL LP EDITION **

Long, long overdue reissue of this gem from the depths of The Skaters
dreamweaving dimension, released as a limited tape through Spencer Clark's
Pacific City imprint back in 2008. Comprising a period of extreme and vital activity
for both Clark as Monopoly Child Star Searchers and Black Joker and his kindred
spirit James Ferraro under his own name - 'Marble Surf' or 'Discovery' - and a
myriad of identities like Liquid Metal or Edward Flex, this split finds these intrepid
explorers on each side of a scrying mirror.

Conjuring the Angel Snake entity as a vessel for unlocking the unconscious,
Ferraro takes up the A-side with hypnotic wooden percussion sustaining queasy
tape processed keyboard lines that intertwine amidst a growing haze of hiss.
About halfway through the digression an announcer boombox voice cuts up the
scenery for a serpentine dance around the discarded remnants of civilisations
past and future. Clark's Monopoly Child rides a beaming synth and muffled
percussion accents on his trademarked keyboard thrills, all ascending and
descending runs brimming on the horizon, not quite here, not quite out of reach,
fading out to a galloping murk smeared by hallucinatory flute-like sounds and
portamento accents that float in harmonic suspension.

Truly visionary and arresting stuff from these true purveyors of the netherworld,
due to be rediscovered in these times of poor half-reassessments of the given
past. It was never a dream, it was always a dream.
