OFF: Black Sun Ensemble

[Douglas Pearson]

This album absolutely totally amazingly mindf*ckingly rules ... you need a
copy of it NOW!

Actually, there's one or two songs on the original vinyl for which the
master tapes were lost and don't appear on this CD reissue.  My vinyl copy
did not come cheaply, but was worth every penny.

The aforementioned CD on Camera Obscura reissues (self-released) album #1
(I believe there were also a couple of cassette releases around this
time).  The next self-titled album, originally on Reckless, was album #2;
it's the most similar to this one, but not as good.  'Lambent Flame', also
on Reckless, was #3, and there was a third album on Reckless whose title I
forget that was #4.

Hope this helps.  And again, buy this CD!

P.S. Keith - I think you posted on something that I had an answer for a
week or two ago but now I can't remember!  Arrgh!
