Swamp Patrol 84 |
|
Swamp Patrol was a collaboration of Hal McGee and Debbie Jaffe (Viscera) with David Mattingly (of Gabble Ratchet and Bright Too Late). This lo-fi wonder of a tape is one of my personal favorites in my catalog. It is a grab bag of tape collage, instrumentals and improvisations (including kitchen utensils), simultaneous readings from seemingly-unrelated texts (The Bible and J.G. Ballard's Crash), segments from instructional and educational records, and other dadaistic, absurdist behavior on tape. Swamp Patrol 84 was originally recorded for inclusion in an issue of Level Mail Art zine -- participants were invited to submit 100 copies of an art object -- 100 boxed issues containing the contributions of all the participants were distributed to subscribers and participants.
Manic sub/pre/post/un-conscious neo-absurdist automatistic musical meanderings, cut-ups and jams from the same people who brought you 60 MINUTES OF LAUGHTER. Instrumentation includes dream machine, car noise, sonic boom, ultra/micro/mini-moog freak receptor, guitar, keyboards, toilet bowl scum, ear wax, cancer of the vocal cords, chain saw, alligator windpipe, waring blender, etc... And titles include "Dioramas Of Stuffed Animals", "SWamp Creature Ritual", "Jesus in The Swamp", "Gregorian Chant Funk #1" and 32 others. Comes packaged in a plastic bag with found "art" objects, messages, liner notes and junk. A near steal for the price.
