Apparently closed up earlier in the year. Glad they put out what they did at least.

Don't have any inside info, but really seemed from afar that this labor of love was cock-blocked at every turn

The samples sound great on this one. They're funding a short run vinyl.

Hey everyone--
Just to let you all know, tessaract3 from this thread passed this morning in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He was 67 years old.
As it happens, he was my wife's birth father. He had a rough go of it for many years, but it was neat to see him connect with people over music he loved over the past several years.
(As for me, I'm a San Francisco-based mostly-lurker who's been here for the fifteen years or so.)

I'm sorry to hear that. I really love the community that built up around Fahey, Basho & Takoma, always seems to be really good, interesting people

Land of our fathers, released on a swiss label called 'holographic ontological networks'. You think you've seen all the rad basho pics and then they dig this one out:

1000 incarnations of the rose and then a bunch of stuff I don't know.

Oh, I ordered that one in 2018! So not quite brand new. Definitely great though.
― Evan, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 16:01 (four years ago) link
huh looks like boomkat have the wrong date! what's it like?
― ogmor, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 16:04 (four years ago) link
To be honest, I got it right before I moved so it quickly went out of sight and out of mind. Since finding it I've only spun it once so far.
I can't confirm any time soon (traveling), but the youtube list on the discogs page might be accurate?

Basho died unexpectedly at the age of 45 due to an accident during a visit to his chiropractor, where an "intentional whiplash" experiment caused blood vessels in his neck to rupture, leading to a fatal stroke.

Yup. Super freaky!

It's out, and it's spectacular - depending on your tolerance for his voice, which is all over these tracks. (My personal tolerance is sky-high.) Other than some random string-tunings and asides to studio personnel, the tracks are pretty realized, not odds-n'-endsy at all.
