about

This is not a new Stargoon release... internal by-laws, Guild rules, it's all a bit complicated. But it's absolutely Stargoon-adjacent. This session saw the Stargoon rhythm core (who've been out playing the spaceway as Psychic Surfer) of Luca Capone (drumkit) and Matthew Fava (electric bass) giving some structure to soundscapes generated by Joe Strutt (Bastl Kastle 1.5, EWI, Concertmate-500, Empress Zoia) and making everything, in a word, "groovy". In celebration of the sense of spontaneous creation felt by the participants, it was decided to rush-release these tracks outside of Stargoon's carefully-considered committee system.

Stargoon commissioned an AI bot to research six important facts about this release. This is what it found:

1) It was recorded in Stargoon's session room (more commonly known as "Jaws").
2) If you do visit Stargoon, check in at the Stargoonfarer Bar's kosmische guitar bookshop.
3) There are two different versions of the release. Although the original features the Stargoon line-up, the download edition features a different one that's been sampled and transformed to mess things up.
4) In the title track, at 10:30 in the song, all the instruments go so bonkers you'll want to remortgage your house to be there.
5) There's a full range of Stargoon influences, from Dada (even in the names of the songs) through pinball music and cassette prank calls to 1950's Science Fiction ("Expedition to the Universe").
6) No humans have been hurt while recording this record.
