thee gnostics - archival 2x cassette/booklet
in a faraway land, where crystalline car dealerships and stately drive-thru slop shops stood immaculate, a band of sagacious, chemically-altered teaheads huddled in a vacant post office in a tent that was left there from the time of the sumerians. this was in hamilton, ontario - early 90's... anyway, the ceiling of the tent was deep space; constellations became their pets and unnamed planets became their personal pan pizzas... it was there that they met god, it was all blueberry shaped non-sequiters and top-heavy answers, enough to cave in the cab of a cube-van. upon stumbling out of the now fog-encumbered tent their heads were weighted down by the incessant drone of the spheres, a tinnitus-like unceasing that clouded their perception. with nothing else to help with this cochlear roar they harmonized, like a ragtag assembly of beached boys with an orphic caveman stomp that matched the brutal profoundness of the soul. and here it is - the selected works of thee gnostics, a band that ceaselessly put petals on wahwah pedals in the tradition of hawkwind and the 13th floor elevators. this is a serious instant classic.
double cassettes come with a 48 page silkscreened/photocopied fanzine-style booklet, with re-appropriated poster art and with liners by bruce mowat. |
