HIDEOUS VISIONS OF MILLION BRAZILIANS
PSR001
PSR001
$10 plus postage
Brazilians lay down raucous romps and sprawling stomps to treat the senses and trick the mind. Hailing from Portland, OR, they simmer in a timeless marketplace of aural stimuli, imbibing influences from an expansive and esoteric network of tantric sounds that immerse the Old World around us.
Hideous Visions of the Million Brazilians is a psychedelic singles collection resulting in a mysterious and joyful noise - less a performance and more occult ritual. The drums and bass pound and throb under the guitar thwack and sax allure. It's a sound you hear wafting through the darkened wood as you slowly drift on down through whatever those waters are that flow around you; pulsing and chanting.
-limited press of 547
-beautiful fold out screen printed cover
-contains 12"X12" leaflet, several strange messages and Psychic Sounds Manifesto pt. 1
-a randomly selected screen print of U.S. East or West Coast tour poster

The controversial Guatemalan folk lore figure Ajitz is a shaman (healer) to some and red brujo (witch) of ill deeds to others. Some say that when holy men were being murdered in the name of Christianity during the Spanish conquest of Guatemala, the Ajitz disappeared into the jungle for preservation carrying a lantern, axe and doll in his own image and reemerged years later evoking to banish evil spirits, providing devotees with spiritual protection and cursing those that dare threaten the lives of his people.

-12" Lp - Limited Edition of 150

-Packaging in heavy duty handmade Folkways style leather-like sleeve/ Screen printed cover-Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk at Stereophonic Mastering (Mississippi Records/ Sublime Frequencies)
“A creepy, daring and resplendent work constructs a mind-melting psychopharmacological vision wherein rhythms and melodies ooze into and out of focus. And when those signposts disappear, a gentle drone or spacey bit of heavily processed trumpet slides right in to take their place.There are movements to it that could be boiled down to individual tracks, but, like a good LSD trip, you are much better off not trying to force any strictures upon Never Use. You’re far better off letting the music unfold on its own terms. Actuel Records-catalog-as-remixed-by-Coil simmer.” -Robert Ham, WW
“Occult magick, sequential art, books on tape, and cut-up literature—Fake Hospital Information Office and Group Operators, the mixed-media experiment of Million Brazilian’s Grant Corum, is at the intersection of all these and more. Evoking images of ancient ceremony, spectral phenomena, and early dungeon-crawling RPGs, Fake Hospital Book I was designed as a “reality hacking” operation in which Corum attempts “to forge spirits within experimental arts and performance.” Essentially a story told through music, projection, and narrated dream states, Corum bewitches the senses and guides the listener through an adventure unlike any other.” -chriscantino, The Mercury
“A middle-eastern trance panic pandemonium; clarinet, bamboo flutes, delay pedals and pulsating loops woven masterfully and magickally to coalesce in an event horizon of moment, slo-motion movement, reality running backwards, like flickering celluloid, stained technicolor with a psychedelic light show. Brian Jones would have been utterly stoked, as these two fine fellows brought a hint of vines and the rustle of bird-calls to the damp chilly evening. I could practically feel the Jaguar's breath, on the back of my neck.”

“Look at track density. Modified accordion or hurdy-gurdy. Light tablas on rhythm. Tuned bronze bowls. Large consonant unison structures, heavy washes of elemental and essential harmonizing layering behind melodic focal note forms. Bird, rattlers, flute or clarinet. As good as the rather good Philip Glass. Where???s the utopic philosophy of harmonics? This stuff is good! Eric Dolphy through Pharaoh Sanders through Philip Glass. It is too easy to say simply Muslimgauze.”

SPECTACLE OF LIGHT ABDUCTIONS
pacific city sound visions 001
After many years as half of the highly influential Skaters with James Ferraro, 2 solo albums on Olde English Spelling Bee (Black Joker and Monopoly Child Star Searchers) and countless tapes and cd's, Stimpson Clark has taken it to the next level. Layers of cosmic and alien sounds inhabit their own world and act as metaphors you can access subconsciously or explicitly. Clearer and more lucid than previous releases of his, this is a singular record of inner space exploration that operates completely outside the retro kraut-new age-synth trend so prevalent right now. Being more hi-fi than his past recordings, Stimpson says "I have made an Alien Space Fusion Music that is an Aural Symbol for the pre-birth outer space-self's new Arrival." In this new zone, Stimpson channels a more personal and spacious side of his vision, combining the rhythmic side of Monopoly Child with the abstractions of his Vodka Soap project. 12 full color pages of art, text and photos in the full size lp format. This marks the first lp release on Clark's Pacific City Sound Visions label. It stands as his biggest statement yet and will surprise and please. A beautiful record. Now it's yours to explore.
-Masted by Timothy Stollenwerk at Stereophonic
-Limited Edition of 500
-12 page full color photo book
-Includes write up on "Spectacle of Light Abductions" festival by Charles Berlitz
