An indulgent slice of heady fringe folk that stands alongside the best I've found and labeled as such, sparse flickering late night hill country outsider meditations of fingerpicked fragments of old crusty blues and smoked out fractals of electrified backwoods seances channeling less HERBCRAFTian mechanics than might be expected if unfamiliar with LAJOIE's previous "LAJOIE" tape courtesy CABIN FLOOR ESOTERICA which also adroitly sidestepped any notion of "lite" or "leftovers" that often find a home in solo outings - but I would say there is a certain inevitable mild HERBCRAFTian cosmic vibe, which to my ears differentiates from ENDLESS CAVERNS freak folk mysticism. Hand-numbered edition of 47 copies from a telephone stand/cabinet, broken down and reconstructed as single cassette-sized boxes with snugly fitting lids, with screenprinted covers and inserts. Also available as a standard cassette on Early Music (EM03) as The Accidental Eye. (NM)
