Day2 Alliance and Bluesanct had a long standing tradition of getting everyone together to make birthday gifts for each other, usually involving some sort of collection of interpretations of each others songs and that sort of thing.
The result of these gift releases is a large archive of really beautiful recordings documenting a family of artists interacting with each other's art. I am really proud of these.
This compilation was recorded for Mark Trecka (of static films) for his 17th birthday... in an edition of 17 copies (only 12 of which I think were actually dubbed).
It contains some very special tracks, almost entirely exclusive to this day! It also contains an extremely diverse group of performers, including Vir (ex-lovesliescrushing w/ k.joy of FuscilLage on vocals), an alternate mix of 'Under the Maud Moon' (here titled 'Galway Kinnell song'), and guest vocals on a very rare (ink) track by Mat Devine (of Kill Hannah).
I am super excited that this almost entirely unheard collection is finally up and available, some 15 years later!
-Mkl Anderson, February 2015
Included in the download is a PDF of the original cassette artwork, as well as the original hidden bonus track by Also, entitled 'oxygen'
