simon finn: pass the distance

First released in 1970. A British, dark-acid folk classic. Sounding like Tom Rapp on a horror trip, Finn sets out on a nightmarish journey that knows no appeasement. The mania shining through is greatly enhanced by the talent of multi-instumentalist David Toop, who plays several different songs simultaneously, seemingly without relation to the songs the other musicians are playing. Guitars appear in the wrong key, song structure is blissfully ignored. Originally released on Mushroom records. 500 copies, with liner notes by John Olson of Wolf Eyes/American Tapes.
