“The Collapse of Ether” [LP] (available on CS)

Album Cover

CS: The Tapeworm (TTW#46) 2012

  1. The Collapse of Ether
  1. Rehtefoespalloc

Notes: limited edition of 200 copies. More information

Limited edition cassette release from the forever enigmatic artist Chris Connelly. “Collapse of Ether” is a 30+ minute experimental piece that has taken almost 22 years to complete. The piano notes were recorded at a high tape speed in 1990 & in 2012, Connelly & engineer Sanford Parker added vocals over the backwards piano part then slowed everything down so that Connelly’s vocals sound like the devil chanting from deep below the Earth. Side two features the same music played backwards so the piano sounds correct (though still slowed down) & the vocals are backwards. A very cool, dark experimental work from this Chicago based legend. Reckless Records
