A strange collaboration finally finds its release. Sal P: Salvatore Principato, founding member of Liquid Liquid, vegetarian chef extraordinaire, one of the strangest characters venerated by Hip Hop break beat culture. BMG: Brendan M Gillen, founding member of Ectomorph. Strong belief in the underground. In the words of BMG: I first met Sal when I was performing on the same stage as him at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2003. I had been asked to write an article for the MetroTimes about Liquid Liquid reuniting and performing along with ESG on the Underground Stage of the DEMF, and when I finally met him backstage, he told me that it was the first article on Liquid Liquid that they wanted to keep a copy of. While Ectomorph went out on stage, ESG ate all our food. The next time I met Sal, I was teaching about using computers to make music as one of three technical advisors for the the RBMA in Cape Town, South Africa (the other two were Patrick Pulsinger and Osunlade).After a day of fun in the sun with penguins, baboons and frisky ostriches, Patrick suggested instead of himself and myself performing solo DJ sets at an open air warehouse party that evening, that we perform together with Sal, with me on Ableton, Patrick on 909 and Sal on Conga and Voice.

We worked on music whenever we could be in the same city, we were able to do shows in Detroit, then some studio jamming, which resulted in Sal's contributions to the Ectomorph 12" "Chromed Out / XXX", and then we had extended basement jam sessions. Out of those basement jam sessions (which included everybody I ever collaborated with that was still in Michigan, plus a few surprise guests) came the raw seed for the song "Credit Card," with crucial elements coming from a half remembered lyric by Sal from when Bill Clinton first came to office, and a bass line from a never recorded Godzuki demo assignment from Crispy (aka Christopher Fachini). While traveling and doing shows we ended up in Hallien, an ancient Celtic salt mining town outside of Salzburg, Austria. I arrived a week before the show to participate with an event called Schmeide, teaching music and machines with guests like Tom Middleton. ...
