Here’s a nice bit of free stuff to kick off 2013 with…the third volume of the series I like to call ‘The Golden Gonk presents…’ to be exact…
Hot-Headed Spectres “Cross-Pollination at the Point of Flame” (Shack in the Barley Productions, shitbar020)
1. Pale Whale Stuffed with Pig Meat (Which is Mostly Bacon) (30:11)
2. Brick Pyramid on Sea, Housing Tropical Birds (13:31)
3. Wild Sea Winds Convening in the High Heavens, Thus Coalescing into a Grey Mulch of Marsh and Eventually Succumbing to the Discrete Advances of a Leggy Witch and a Rhinoceros Viper (20:02)
What we ‘ave ‘ere folks is a brand spanking new version of the one and only album by the short-lived Golden Gonk offshoot project Hot-Headed Spectres, that was originally ‘released’ (I use the term lightly- more like ‘given to a small handful of people who probably don’t even remember that they have it’ hehe) back in autumn 2006 on CD-R.

So, several years down the road, it’s finally done!! Remixed…remastered…(partially) re-recorded…overdubbed…new artwork…the works, kids (same ol’ catalogue number, though)!!
Commencing with half an hour of blissful sludge, moving through ecstatic peaks of modal joy and concluding with a suite for free form voices, percussion, acoustic and electric guitars, drone organ, bass, radio static and a dreaming cat, “Cross-Pollination at the Point of Flame” is a true psychedelic polished turd…
