Sheep Fiends - Slow Down the Future

Brian Cameron lent me seven tapes recorded between 5/4/1999 and 8/15/1999. Brian moved to San Francisco right around this time, and these tapes never really got much attention. From these tapes I edited, produced and named ten brand new Sheep Fiends tracks, as well as recapturing alternate versions of "The Intrusive Cabbie" and "Waves" which had been released before. Mr. Cameron handled production duties on "Valley of Dark". I also produced a kind of spoken word track from the sole 1998 tape that I had been provided. This mostly instrumental collection captures a fairly aggressive version of the band as we approached the 21st Century.

Notes

Album #: 82 Recording Dates: 1999 Release Date: 2013 Catalog: SF Notable Tracks: Track 03 - Follow the Signs (Sheep Fiends) - Space jazz with a Latin flair? Whatever it is... it is funky and heavy and pulsing with purpose. An analog journey into your inner meaning. A fantastic find from our lost 1999 tapes. [Scratch on Guitar] Track 09 - Time Tunnel (Sheep Fiends) - Hip-hop drums join the swirling auditory event. Scratched grooves and sickened guitars yearning for help eventually find their riff. [Scratch on Guitar] Track 11 - Slow Down the Future (Sheep Fiends) - Time itself follows no regular schedule as forward thinkers look backward. We grind and scream for answers, but only the explosions of creation await. With resignation we regress back to the starting line. [Scratch on Guitar]
