about

A very experimental Triax session. Dave was trying out new sounds on his guitar, and Alan was experimenting with fold-back via analogue modulation. But, aside from the stuff that most would deem an incoherent mess, there was still plenty of source material to construct a decent length album out of. Time for a radical remix job, lots of reconstruction, collage, reprocessing, flipped backwards sounds, etc. The resulting album is indeed "A Foreign Country" sometimes a little more Nurse With Wound than the usual Triax, with very little of the patent hurdy-gurdy and rhythm-free!
