Carl Erdmann : Bizarrophytes : Aquarium Drunkard

One of those “lost” LPs that almost seems too good to be true, Carl Erdmann’s Bizarrophytes originally emerged mirage-like from the high desert of Roswell, New Mexico in the early 1980s. And like any good mirage, it disappeared quickly, having been privately pressed in an extremely small number. But after years of dodgy YouTube rips, Bizarrophytes has finally gotten a loving reissue via Morning Trip Records so that we can properly all enjoy its phase-y/hazy Kottke-esque Takoma-style rambles, UFO ragas and homespun electronic fuckery, all recorded on a Tascam 4-track reel-to-reel machine.
