leighton craig commenced musical life in manurewa, aotearoa where as a youngster he learnt the piano and elementary music theory (and dreamt of playing for Liverpool FC). some years and several punk rock epiphanies later, he was reborn as a casiotone revisionist based in brisbane, australia. when the sun goes down, he likes nothing more than to sit at the kitchen table with his four track and record fuzzy keyboard miniatures.

'POLISHED GLASS AUTOBAHN' 7" (Dirty Knobby) $15NZ post paid
Shoot. The goddamn funkiest noise record ever? Like a bop-off between Rudolph Grey and Terminator X. Grinding psychedirgecore plastered over ghastly electrosplatter and ambivilent fake-americana strummage. And thats just side one! Side two grovels in halls of gravel, blurring the line between this world and the next... like Aldous Huxley writing a book about how he lost his marbles whilst listening to Hawkwind. Like, like, like...EVERYBODYDANCENOW!)
MY CAT IS AN ALIEN. -'8inch triangular lathe cut record'.
I have long been in awe of the superior control of musical cosmonauts Roberto and Maurizio Opalio. The grace and simplicity of their touch.
I feel that it is a privilege to able to introduce this new work, 2 short sides etched into a triangle of acetate that illustrate the potentially eternal depth of the subjectively experienced universe.
This record is far less electr(on)ic than some of their pieces. Driven largely by plaintive bell like guitar and a sparse haunting ethereal wordless vocal it sounds like a prayer sung in a chamber deep within some dark crystalline moon.
A limited numbered edition of 80 triangle records in specially designed triangular sleeves.
