Aladdin
(click to enlarge)


this record features Eric's poem printed in the booklet.  the audio is reversed but the poem reads through the backwards audio.

Nicky Smith, an interviewer from SpliceToday gets information on this:

ST: You lived in Morocco within the last two years or so. What was the experience like and what did you accomplish there?

EC: My wife and I spent about three months there in 2010—we saved some money and lived cheap. I traveled without any musical equipment, so I started writing while there and ended up with a recording that was released by Fusetron called Aladdin. Not really sure where it all came from. Certainly not for everybody.

ST: How was Aladdin written? How did you get yourself in that cut-up state of mind?

EC: It's not so much the cut ups that attracted me but the strength of words. I don't usually focus much on words in music. I was not able to speak much during my time there so I developed a slightly skewed attitude towards English and Aladdin was the result.  

Released back in 2010 it had a 1 per person limit from fusetron and a full release of 100 copies.
