A super limited picture disc, limited to 400 copies, featuring one side each from the Finnish avant-jazz collective Astro Can Caravan and psychedelic beat sculptor Bradford Reed. For their side, fragments of an Astro Can Caravan rehearsal tape is redesigned by DJ Ohra into "Lost Robot", who turns their deep space psychedelic jazz into an aggressive breakcore track. The band's epic big band arrangements which normally sound like an epic fusion of Fela Kuti afrobeat and Sun Ra's cosmic jazz are cut up and mutated into stuttering, fastpaced breakbeats and layers of vocal samples, squelchy Moog synths and blasts of heavy drone guitar mixing with swells of UFO sounds and what vaguely sound like metal riffs somewhere underneath DJ Ohra's chaotic beatscape. I wasn't expecting this at all from Astro Can Caravan, hearing their far out skronk recontextualized as a ripping dose of aggressive, heavy breakcore. Sounds like something Planet Mu would put out, actually.

Weird instrument inventor Bradford Reed offers �Bright Moons & Bird Dances� on the flipside, and it's a much mellower piece by comparison. Reed has worked with King Missile III and Michael Gira before, and here he crafts an alien gamelan mantra put together with drums, bells, and a strange instrument called the "Pencilina", some kind of ten-stringed board that is played by striking pencils or chopsticks against the strings, kind of a cross between a mutant gamelan, a chapman stick, and a piece of junkyard scrap. He's joined by Matthew Pierce who contributes some eerie, austere violin strains that bring a mystic Chinese air to the track's percussive ethno-drone.
