ERIC LOU ROOT

 



A simply indescribable recording from 1980s Netherlands, a private pressing unearthed by nerds in Amsterdam and presented on cassette by the geniuses at Loathed Sound. Drugged out synths dominate a recording that was perhaps initially meant by the artist to be akin to reggae/dub, but manifests something completely different. Like a SCIENTIST session invaded by Latvia's ZODIAC, Root jams through an hour of bizarre, innocent and pure sounds that transcend earth and universe, unrestrained by convention, tradition, or gravity. You can feel how deep inside himself the creator had to go to pull these sounds out...makes you wonder if he ever came back.
