This mysterious LP follows in the footsteps of "Invasion of the Thunderbolt Pagoda",capturing primal, fiery jams both raw in sound quality and in performance.Flowing with what seems like no beginning or end, he creates a dizzying cerebral drone that combines the hypnotic techniques of Tony Conrad with the primitive sensibility of early Amon Duul I or MEV. Maclise creates a dizzying, joyous sound that remains unparalleled, even today. And his music, while being well-documented, is only barely available commercially. Here's hoping that LaMonte Young will soon open his archives, where a largeportion of MacLise's work resides.
