Phoenix, AZ's most outlandish musical export composed this soundtrack for
Hachiro Maki
's underground film of the same title and released this LP in 1995 during a heavily prolific period for the band that also produced some of their strangest material. The spectrum of their eclectic and finest work is covered here, from the spaced-out
improvisation
and
ethnic
drone to the cutting electric
rock
of the
Torch of the Mystics
era. It is safe to say this original soundtrack is inspired by such classics as
Zabriskie Point
and even some of
Ennio Morricone
's '70s work. Clearly
the Sun City Girls
intended this material to be heard outside of the underground cinema -- theirs is such a freakish sound as to invoke its own imagery. ~ Martin Walters
