about

W E are risen, upright and uncaged. home recordings live and in the now from room 104 at secret studios. a grab bag of songs from the first two sun of monkey albums which are out of print. none of these songs are on other releases. the songs are naked as they were born, unprocessed, unrefined, all natural, rough and ready and growing into fruition with the excitement of our harmolodic union shining yes. "cosmogram calling" = tracks 1 - 7 and "enter the yantra" = tracks 8 - 15. a digital only release.

SUN of MONKEY spirals between the absurd and the serious, the silly and the profound, sleeping and wakefulness---no one is left in the scepter-hold and we are all comfortable in the dragon's mouth navigating the swell of protean power that is our exploration of tone-scopes and sound-gems---

—excerpt from "electric seaweed vol. 1" liner knotes

the actions of musicians coming together to make music are deeply rooted in the tradition of reclaiming natural-rights, of taking back the bodymind from the dichotomy thrust upon its very essence, revealing the underlying union of opposites---and besides rock 'n' roll makes a difference, the difference between celebrating life, or not---yes, we are backsliders extraordinaire, flies in the ointment, the knot in the noose, the wind in the trees---yet, how can such acute awareness, and the discerning reach of a gathering of energies, exist simultaneously with the disparity and malfeasance so prevalent in this world?---the hiccups are love-taps, growing pangs, contractions to the relaxing, setting free the waxwing and exercising the allowance of mutual growth---...we are traveling amidst the waves of the Great Turning, clarion beasts marking the moments with visions unrent cascading thru streets of perfidy and sickness, upon a chariot fashioned with the skulls and bones of our forebears, its horses gliding upon legs of fire, and to look into their eyes is to gaze upon oblivion, where new suns spiral incandescent star-braids of flesh, hydra-strains of cauldron blues and greens, and other impossibilities---the question and the answer are both simple---just listen---

GOOD MUSIC FROM LIFE'S EXPERIENCES
NO LIMITS, NO SET LISTS, NO RULES
