SCIENCE FICTION-TERRIBLE LIZARDS, LP, 1980, USA

This cryptic and little known experimental electronic outfit unfurl two purgatorial and viscous side long drifts of surrealism-charged and cyclically inclined smeary/bleary oleaginous atmospherics, the eponymously titled A side's tenebrous tone and entropic structure both predating and foreshadowing the work of everyone from The Loop Orchestra to The Caretaker to Tom Recchion to Philip Jeck, while side B's "...City Of God" grafts spare acid guitar squall, female vocal loops and a two note piano motif onto this amorphousness for a sound midway between Richard Youngs' Advent and distended 70's French electronic rock in the mode of Fluence and Ilitch. I know one of the world's top collectors who rates this in his top 5. I won't go quite that far, but this IS as eerily prescient and vibe-rich a document of sub-underground weirdity as your likely to encounter for some time, regardless.
