EYELESS IN GAZA/LOL COXHILL – HOME PRODUCE: COUNTRY BIZARRE

Originally released in 1982 in France on a limited edition audio cassette tape only, the old Tago Mago recordings have on “Home Produce: Country Bizarre” been infused with new life, new arrangements and with additional new material. Eyeless In Gaza have undertaken to fuse the Coxhill pieces with their own and on top of it add some new improvisations and tunes to exciting ends. Whereas the original Tago Mago tape was more of a divided piece of work with Coxhill on the one side and Eyeless in Gaza on the other, the result on “Country Bizarre: Home Produce” is a much improved flow and the album now appears as a whole. Martyn Bates and Pete Becker (Eyeless In Gaza) have thus very successfully produced an album that brings the more than 2 decades old Tago Mago material right up to the 21st century, but without the expense of losing any of the character of the original sounds.
