about

Recorded in the days following "nine-eleven" and titled in reference to the confusion and chaos evident in the official diplomatic and media responses to same.
The album was initially scheduled for release on US label Freedom From but as I never heard of it actually coming out (let alone receive comps) I released it myself on PseudoArcana a few months later.
The whole thing was recorded in my music cupboard, a tiny room in our place in Wellington. The instruments were electric organ, sk1, bowed oven tray, guitar and violin. It was recorded using the 'tinfoil' method onto a crappy old woozy tape deck I found on the side of the road. To over-dub I put tinfoil over the erase head. This was a technique I'd grown to love over the years, theres something unique about the sound quality as the sounds being over recorded interfere with the sounds that were there before.
It is also fascinating from a compositional perspective because one cannot monitor the audio that was there previously but must rather remember the underlying track(s) and try to play in sympathy based on memory alone.

It's been a very busy weekend for Michael with this being the 2nd Gate album(one new and this reissue) to come out along with a solo project. Originally released in 1990, this is the polar opposite of the other Gate record and sounds like it was recorded in Hell's garage in another galaxy, because no one on this planet has caught up even now, 27 years on. It's completely deranged and monumentally magnificent. Gavin Hellyer
