This was recorded on October 8th and 9th in 1994. John had copies of it for sale at the Mad Platter, shortly after recording it. This is mostly soundscapes created with different looped effects and samples from other recordings. He seemed to be doing a lot of experimenting with a harmonizer effect he had. This can be heard in the guitar throughout most of the recording.
I have never known what the repeated phrase is in the track, Alien Metaphor. The harmonized line, with the mountain of droning noise behind it has always sounded very unsettling to me. It really does create a spooky vibe. Happy Halloween indeed.
On a side note, John turned the graphic on the front of this recording into a T-shirt. I had one of them and wore it to school. The school principal made me turn the shirt inside out, after stopping me in the hallway. Apparently the bulge on the character offended the school staff.
Enjoy
