Description
Originally released in 1996, it was their second double CD of the year (along with Dantes Disneyland Inferno). Partly an ethno-surrealist take on places and forms known (Indonesian gamelan, Bollywood soundtracks, Polynesian folk, surf stylistics, & sci-fi thematics) and partly a stupefying surreal ethnography of places yet to be discovered as the collective Bishop Brothers, Mssrs. Gocher and Kang walk that liminal tightrope between Here and the Dragon was live recorded at the Off Ramp (now defunct) in Seattle. Ghost Ghat Tresspass / Sussmeier was recorded live at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, and features Eyvind Kang on violin. A portion of Sussmeier appears on Kangs Theater of Mineral NADEs CD (Tzadik, 1998). Shin Paku and Maybe Ill Kiss and Die a Fool were originally recorded during the sessions for Torch of the Mystic. The songs Apna Desh and Rookoo Bay originally appeared in remixed form on the 78rpm 10 issued by Perfect in 1994. This release also features the recording debut of Sun City Girls Javanese Gamelan, acquired in 1993 at a Seattle auction.
