VAS DEFERENS ORGANIZATION-TILT?, 10", 2001, USA



Carrying on with shares from our own back catalog, this 10" was our contribution to the Lactamase series of 10" vinyls on Beta-Lactam Ring and captures the same extended line-up of VDO heard on some of our more overtly kosmiche-directed efforts of the time like Zyzzybaloubah and Quicksand, with Doug Ferguson (Yeti/Ohm), David Fargason (Liquid Sound Company), Jim Edgerton (Burnin' Rain, Fish Eye Lens) and saxophonist Scott Lindsay all present for these sessions.

There's a particular patina to these recordings, a darkly queered and melancholic atmosphere specific to only this recording of ours. The PR for this release at the time it came out was name-checking Bowie/Eno instrumentals, Goblin and Van Der Graaf Generator and that still seems apt enough on some level, though it's all been filter-fucked and structurally skewed as per VDO's usual peccadillos.

  4. Looking forward to hearing more
    educational sounds.

    Thank you for all of your
    time and work on my musical
    behalf.

    I'm in Atlanta and It was a balmy
    72 degrees today - might be tough on the farmers without a real winter.

    I am hoping that your divshare problems have improved.

    best
