Magic Brothers

Live in Glastonbury

Number 11 in the series. A typical multi-guest Assembly Rooms hoolie of a gig. A mixture of daevid acoustic songs and wonderful stretched out Magick Brothers magic. With guests from Kangaroo Moon and Heathens All. Very well recorded and very vibey.

obscura 10

Invisible Opera Company of Oz

Melbourne Studio Tapes

Gong on Acid '73

(sorry - all gone)

obscura 6

daevid allen
Nicoletta Stephanz

Live at the Knitting Factory

(sorry - all gone)

limited edition

Number 6 in the series. This live CD of Gliss guitar, Theremin, and treated vocals results in a marvellously adventurous cauldron of sounds and spacey textures. Both musicians combine superbly well together with their distinctly odd chosen instruments to create totally unique sonic experience.

Number 5 in the series. Powerful live versions of 1st University of Errors album with some daevid/Gong tracks. A more mainstream release for the electric guitar feast of live set, previously only available at University of Errors gigs and briefly here, as a homemade disc.
