TRANQUIL- focus of destruction-(Elephant Fossil-USA-1995-c90)

Quite an interesting  tape-work here with different genres covering somehow weird electronics,frantic lyrics,noise industrial,loops and more short circuits and guitar passages.
The recording is good and  the cover-sleeve makes it rather esoteric!
Paul Chavez is the artist delivering us those strange songs, he also appears to be the sound engineer and the  master-mind of the whole recording of the same tape,he also plays in a band called Mourning Cloak.
A good tape for the lovers of experimental music without borders.

  2. While it's fair to say Paul was the master mind behind Tranquil, my friend Griffin was the other member of the band and this was recorded in his mobile home aka "Tranquility trailer" on an old farm near the PA/MD border. I forget who it is in the intro but she is telling the story of when Tranquil gave an ear shattering, wall shaking performance at a venue in the city we lived in. The Elephant Fossil thing was my idea though I wasn't in the band. Every EF Tapes release has a different abbreviation for "E.F."
