two parallel universes / one ep
Once upon a time Jim woke up and over a cup of tea decided to go downstairs to his basement recording studio. He emerged two weeks later.
The guitar pedal came from space, spinning like a Lewis Carroll saucer.
It landed on Earth in the Australian suburban wilderness....
The alien Nick Launay then came and long fingeredly cast his stuff over the primal sounds that were on tape, adding some more of his own. The tape was flipped over backwards 50% of the time. A few weeks later Greg Wales, a drummer was recruited on one song to give it some extra life.
There comes a time when the young woodsman has to leave the cabin and tread through the silent pine forest alone to reach the manhood he craves and to feel the sunlight upon his hairy arms.
Fuzzface was waiting on the track, covered by the autumn leaves, and when the boy innocently hit the switch with his Ugh boot the sound of static filled his head and the world became two dimensional. Thus an evil force was unleashed on the world.
The Family Dog added footsteps, tabla and acoustic guitar to another song while the harmonium was going to tape. After some time, mixes were done and taken away. It was thought to be a good thing and had a charm of its own. The name Fuzzface was used to describe the process I have just described. It was deemed worthy of release. Here it is.
For centuries, the song of all living creatures passed through the circuit board of Fuzzface and everyone with ears felt the assault. Airships fell to the ground and jet skis flipped over. While it's batteries lasted, life was irrevocably changed. The boy grew to manhood and turned to the great god of noise to find an answer, and to lose himself in the noise that was created, only to find a tunnel leading towards a glowing purple chamber filled with dry ice and swarms of roadies unpacking cases full of bizarre electronic equipment. Sensing there was no answer there he climbed to the top of the highest mountain and prayed for the clouds to open and the seas to part and that everything would somehow return to the simplicity of the past, only to find that he could not turn back. Dark forces were moving beneath the surface of the ocean, and he dived into the roaring waters and found..............the sound of the distorted world was echoing under the waters and he thought the sound was beautiful and brought it back to show the people who fell in love with the thing that they had previously despised and they lived happily ever after.
