about

This is old and I'd almost forgotten it. Not a classic album but it starts well and has its moments, notably Andy's guitar.

Although I may have a copy somewhere, probably on a poorly-labelled DVD-A (was originally in 5:1), it's only available now thanks to Tony Sawford, a gentleman whose audio expertise and friendship has bailed me out many times over the years.

I did some trimming, killing one thumpy dance track completely and adding the final track as a bonus only, since it perhaps overbalances the thing. You may not feel it necessary to keep it.

I think the first four tracks flow nicely into each other and work pretty well. For some reason it reminds me of Cyberdiver, perhaps due to its collage-with-guitar approach.

I've edited for best flow rather than at track boundaries. You'll see what I mean if you lay them out smoothly in order. This beast was once over 70 mins long, yuck! I know, I know.

More info:
Mushroom Disco was made 13-14 years ago when I was testing Wavelab's DVD-A functionality and 5:1 audio. I was never able to listen to it properly myself as Philippe included DVD-A but not DVD-V codecs. It was supposed to be a continuous (and, yes, indulgent/trippy) exploration of surround sound. It's also a stark reminder that making music on shrooms is prone to distraction and even more vagueness than usual. I recall wandering off in the middle of the recording to do some hoovering! Fortunately I was able to arrange it all later in Wavelab, then added some fab guitar from Andy Boland, which helped glue it together in ways impossible to achieve by myself. The keen amongst you may recognise some samples that were also used in STDM/Binar recordings. I don't collect anywhere near as many samples these days and some of these work better than others.

Enjoy!!
