The Hi God People side was recorded around the same time as their previous 12 inch split with New Zealanders the Dead C. It has live snippets from a show at the Palace and recordings from a radio 3CR session. Mind boggling dementia pop!

Then there's Zond, named after a satellite of the USSR. But Zond are broadcasting dark ecstasy, not from space but from a place far below.
They are a Rorschach blot or a Freudian analysis gone wrong. This is Zond's first release.

Spanish Magic are overwhelmed with admiration for these two bands... We asked the two bands a year and half to two years ago now and it's finally happening... patience is a virtue? well the genius on this 12'' is worth all the patience in the world!

The artwork on the 12'' is a mixture of numerous screens, spray-painted stencils and hand-carved stamps. Time consuming stuff... but well worth it. In the words of some, 'unusually PAINstaking''. Each is different to the next. The first batch of covers was damaged in the 2007 Newcastle floods - the office was under water and a car floated down the street outside.

$20 INCLUDING POSTAGE.
