Mabus : Great creator comet

now defunct crump project, like disguises is very raw right from the git'go
it has that open air room sound, you can hear a television in the background in a few tracks,
track three starts with Alice cooper's schools out, which quickly switches to dialog from
a sitcom and building microphone feedback, the resulting wall of sound consists of twilight zone delay whoops and jet engine roars,
the rawness of the recording in no way takes away from the dynamics of the record, the tracks keep your attention till the very end,
the packaging is simple and crude but memorable,
MABUS spray painted in red with a piece of tinfoil stuck inside the plastic sleeve,
the inside insert is a piece of black cardboard with black ink printed on it, the black on black makes the insert look very smart, but is hard to read at first glance,


all and all this is a great record and one i come back to often,
