Discovery

VINYL FORMAT. Now available as mastered vinyl LP with a digital download.

Clear and Discovery were originally released as two companion CDR=s by James Ferraro (of the whole Skaters/Lamborghini Crystal/90120/Splash/Nirvana axis) and comprise the August 1974 (Taj-Mahal Travellers) of his discography. Both albums contain absolutely beautiful whirling hall-of-knives-style synth drone that makes one want to reference Klaus Schulze or Bobby Beausoleil. Clear bursts with flam beats and a cluster of melodies muffled like a calliope wrapped in a soggy tarp, while Discovery is comparable to Daft Punk's album of the same name but played in reverse at 16 rpm through a boombox in a boiler room.

These two records contain the sounds of pulling out with tapping beats of fluid dropped on a soft convertible top (open), much like those fictitious Giorgio Moroder songs for the upcoming Olympics in Atlantis or a reworking of that award-winning song from Revenge of the Nerds - or is it "Wonderwall" - into a theme for a future ski jump at the Great Pyramids. Are you ready for the lizard people to compete?
