There I was trying to figure out how to flesh out a CD started out with a 19 minute set from Captain Beefheart exiles Mallard. It was rendered 25 years ago and Mallard‘s weird psych/pop isn’t much like anything around these days.

Eventually I started plucking post-rock and other stuff and ended up with the present comp. It hangs together as a 40 year longitudinal slice of post-rock and psych. (40 years given the presence of Kaleidescope and the Grateful Dead, circa 1968.)
