VINYL FORMAT. Limited edition pressing of 1,000 copies on vinyl heavy enough to hold some of Bardo Pond's headiest jams. This is the first of four vinyl only Bardo-related releases coming out simultaneously on Important Records. Gazing At Shilla is Bardo Pond's first release on Important. The two pieces, very different in sound and feel, have sat patiently in the Bardo archive waiting for the most opportune moment for release. "Eight- Thousanders" and "Kali" are both entirely improvised pieces with no overdubs. Slide blissfully into a smoky heaven and then forget your mind in a lower world of strange tones on side A. If you're still able to flip the record when the needle hits the runoff groove, you'll find yourself exposed to the Goddess Kali's naked blackness. Bardo is out. Are you in?
