ROBERT SHECKLEY’S IN A LAND OF CLEAR COLORS, a limited-edition book/album released in a numbered edition of 1,000 for (originally) $100.00 a copy. The project came together on the Spanish island of Ibiza, and was published by the Galeria el Mensajero on Ibiza in 1979.
Essentially it came about while science fiction author Sheckley was living on Ibiza and became drinking buddies with the Galeria owner Martin Watson Todd and Peter Sinfield. (Sinfield: “I met Bob Sheckley in Ibiza where I spend much of my time these last years getting drunk and thinking about doing something more constructive than getting drunk.” )
I wrote about this book/album in the January, 1980 issue of Heavy Metal: “What happened was that Sinfield – who had also produced Roxy Music’s first album and thus met Brian Eno in the process – had gone to live on Ibiza, an island off Spain, and there he’d met Robert Sheckley (who was also living there then) and a man named Martin Watson Todd, who ran the Galeria el Mensajero, a local art gallery. Then one day Brian Eno came to visit his friend Sinfield, and became part of the local social group of expatriates and artistic types. ‘I didn’t know who this fellow Eno was at first,’ Sheckley recalls. ‘I’d never heard of his music, but he was somebody I could talk to….’”
The end result was the publication of Sheckley’s 1974 novella, “In A Land of Clear Colors,” in a box-slip-cased volume which measures 12¾ inches square and runs to 46 heavy pages with illustrations, plus an LP. The LP (tucked into a pocket in the book’s back cover) consists of Peter Sinfield’s narration of Sheckley’s story (somewhat edited for time; the full version appears as the book’s main text), with “background music” (much of it very ambient) in places by Eno.
