Nigths and Profecy: Expanded and Remastered

by 400 Lonely Things

supported by

Johnny Yesno This is an incredible album. Starting out as a cassette of 5 tracks, Mr. Varian has added 5 more to the mix, making this now a double album. The music was already exquisite; it is now sublime. This is matched and complemented by the artworks of the physical product. Tip-top.

about

Digital release includes a high-quality PDF of the art booklet.

This album was originally released as a split-cassette with Fossil Aerosol Mining Project in the summer of 2020, through the Helen Scarsdale Agency. This new digital and compact disc edition of the 400 Lonely Things side of the "Nigths and Profecy" cassette has been expanded to include about 40 minutes of new songs written specifically for this version. All audio has been re/mastered by the one and only Preston Wendel.

While this offering is the sister album to FAMP's release under this same title, it can also be considered a companion piece to our own "Tonight of the Living Dead". As with "Tonight", all audio and visual treatments come from a technologically impaired source. But it also stems from an intentionally deceptive un/related cinematic genesis - in this case an Italian film marketed as a sequel to "Dawn of the Dead" - which it definitely wasn't. In fact, it wasn't even the first movie to market itself this way: Lucio Fulci had done the same with "Zombi 2" the year before.

Known around the world by many titles since its European theatrical release in 1981, "Burial Ground" is, in my opinion, a grindhouse sleazefest with no equal. It's a film whose many gruesome ineptitudes, absurdly absurd dialogs, immersive yet completely dissociative gore-pieces, and countless bewilderingly incompetent trajectories remain dear to my heart. All audio and imagery associated with this album was sourced and extrapolated from a Vestron Video monophonic VHS cassette released to the American home video market in 1986, one that has been in my home library since 1990-something.

As with any media format and enough determined manipulation, other aspects of a given source material can be brought forth and revealed. While I leaned hard into some of the more obvious psychotronic and schlocky elements of this movie in tracks like "I'm Your Friend" and "The Secret", other tracks surprised me with their inlaid, effusive, smeary beauty and warm, embracing hypnotics. These translucent, fragile qualities are apparently lurking in the celluloid-via-VHS haze for anyone odd enough to seek out... as if waiting to be coaxed into lumbering but awkwardly pretty new forms. I can't say that this beauty was intentional on the film-maker's part, because it definitely wasn't. But it's hiding there, if you look for it. And man, it was nice to revisit this record and just get into some good creepy fun, especially after the global and personal turmoil of the last few years.

If you haven't already, please seek out FAMP's album by the same name. Also: get together with your favorite late-night friends for a (re?)watching of this crappily remarkable, bafflingly transgressive, aggressively incoherent, brutally dubbed, unrated pile of typo-laden demented horror garbage and let the fun begin. Thank me or hate me for it later - it doesn't matter... because I'm your friend.

FAMP can find cryptic, bewildering hypnosis in almost any texture, turn it into a lived experience, and then pass that experience on to you, making you richer as a person for having experienced it. 400 Lonely Things

Into Dark Water
by O Yuki Conjugate

A personal favorite for half of my life at this point. This album played in the background the day I was married. Later, it MADE me buy a tongue drum. Listen to OYC and it will happen to you too. 400 Lonely Things

Mother Moon (CSR319CD)
by 400 Lonely Things

supported by 18 fans who also own “Nigths and Profecy: Expanded and Remastered”

A beautiful atmospheric ambient exploration of the memory of Banning Mill in Georgia USA and of the painting (and artist) found within. Mesmerising stuff and the supplemental book is equally essential. Hopefully Cold Spring will reissue the other 400 Lonely Things album on CD soon, so we can experience more of Craig Varian's unique work. 10/10 Dave Turner
