|   Recorded at the same sessions that produced the "Ball/Peace in the Valley" 7" (released on 31G Records), this represents Black Dice's initial turn towards the more organic and atmospheric sounds that were fully realized on their Beaches and Canyons full length. The two songs here utilize the range of the Black Dice arsenal — dissonant screech, electronic manipulation, tribal vocals, held tones, even bongos on "Lost Valley" — to wonderful effect. Though this is the sound of the band in transition, these two songs stand up among the band's best. Edition of 300 copies. Spray painted chipboard disco-sleeves with wraparound sticker and full-color label artwork, matching the CD3 edition. Note that sleeve designs vary widely. Three-inch compact disc version released on Tigerbeat6 Records. |
