Comments: Cover is vg+ with some ring wear, a minor crease to the upper left, and staining to the top seam (see pic; similar wear and staining also visible on back cover); vinyl is ex and plays great; includes a really nice booklet insert with drawings, also in ex shape.
An imperfect but still really nice copy of the early ReR reissue (1984) of this legendary and awesome collage LP out of Colorado (Fort Collins), originally released on Dys in 1981. This was the Mnemonist's 3rd LP, following "Some Attributes of a Living System" (1980) and the "Mnemonist Orchestra" LP (1979), all originally released on Dys.
"I first read about the mysterious post-everything Colorado ensemble Mnemonists on Piero Scaruffi’s website where he was reviewing albums by the Norwegian experimental/free improv collective Supersilent - he compared Supersilent to Mnemonists, which got me intrigued, considering the albums by the Americans were released some 20 years before the Norwegians. Something magical must have been in the air of Colorado in the early 80’s, putting its trippy tentacles into some visionaries brains, provoking them to make some of the most f-ed-up, yet brilliant sound collages at the time.... The album makes references to artists such as Max Ernst or Francis Bacon - both are known for their constant warping of reality in their paintings, especially Bacon who would often draw human figures deformed and mutilated beyond recognition, often caught in extreme pain with the few brutal strokes of the brush, which made the portraits blurry, yet with the whole horrifying clarity of what’s going on. This is what Mnemonists did, too: mutilating music, breaking its bones and spines and leaving it to suffer among the industrial wasteland. “Horde” is very often messy and confusing, but does a magical trick of staying compelling and well thought-out throughtout the entire psychedelic length of the LP, sometimes uncovering the blackened veil to expose the complex machinations and compositional efforts that actually take place under the murk." - Weed Temple
