***BACK IN STOCK!!! America Mystica is a collection of four live recordings, made under varied circumstances, ranging from the quiet and comfortable setting of the WFMU -free form radio recording studio, to the live theater environment at the cube cinema in Bristol England, where the group was recorded in concert performance. the lineup includes Montreal musicians Fluffy Erskine and David Bryant, as well as long time JOMF members T. Greenwood and Brooke Crouser also appearing in these recordings are Jeff Mooridian, Adam Forkner, Honey Owens, Jessie Carrot, Theo Angell, Samara Lubelski, Josh Stevenson, Genevieve Delinger, Alexander Tucker and Andy Cvar, with live sound by Craig Bowen. The four compositions contained here, issued for the first time ever by Very Friendly, are all quite long, even by JOMF standards, the shortest piece being over 19 minutes long. listening to this work requires some patience, but is richly rewarding, as each piece unfolds and delivers it‚s content in a way completely unique, and timeless. raw blues, layered drones, and hypnotic percussion combine with pulsing micro-tones, turntable live/samples, bells, whispers, and jive talk, to create a poetic, trance-psych classic. Edited in Portland, Or. with Andy Brown for the unity sound archive. UK import.
