about

PSYCHIC REMNANTS VOLUME 2: 1975 - 76

Due to the primitive nature of the recordings they are mono with assorted tape drop outs, clicks and distortion. To enhance some tracks they have had added reverb or echo added. Compiled and edited January 2021.

Be warned - all are very basic and primitive but give an indication of where I was back then and act as pointers to where I was going…

All tracks improvised and recorded by Steve Hillman 1975 - 76.

Sound sources: Synda the Audio Generator, toy piano, reed organ, acoustic guitar, recorder, short wave radio & voice.

Cover art by David Edwards.

“They Return” includes improvised Mellotron voices and Farfisa organ added in 2020 in keeping with the spirit of those times if I had had such instrumentation back then!

“Astral Mists” features my then girlfriend Linda reciting some of her poetry from 1975:

Astral mists and gleaming fire,
waken unto my desire.
Crucify this mortal shroud,
in the burning fires of Hell.

Tortured demons, withering snakes,
elemental beasts awake.
All assembled writhing knot,
there to chant my hideous knell.

As from burning chains I scream,
never to escape this dream.
Levitation's of the past,
at my mind they try to grasp.

Each insidious word or phrase,
astral elementaries praise.

Thus the fire goes round and round,
reincarnating souls abound.
There towards the altar they do look,
even though perfection remains unto them a closed book.

Steve Hillman 8th January 2021
