XCVI  ФАНТАСТИЧЕСКАЯ ЖАБА "Пруды безумия"

36 manually numbered cassettes

An opus magnum in a sense and an outcome of the noisecore period of the existence of the band, a truly painstakingly crafted album, aged in the archives for 9 years, having been recorded presumably yet in the Fall of 2012 at Lennauchfilm on a portastudio, with 4 channels: drums, bass, voice and macbook (keyboard). To my mind, this is one of the best FZH sets with extremely powerful rhythm section's riffs, amazing and enchanting MacBook sound comes like from a fairytale, cries by Daria Vorujubivaeva (side A) reaching truly inhuman heights, while yelling of Grigory Avrorin (side B) makes the listener feel the real insanity. Some 3 years after the session I finally finished a decent mix and brought it to Avrorin to listen to, in whose tape player it was immediately jammed in the most exciting place. For some more years I had painstakingly tried to restore the same mix to a new tape, but in vain; so that finally that very jammed tape was used as a master for duplication, as can be heard in the beginning of the first side. For some more years the cover has been prepared, initially planned to be printed on a risograph at Efremov's (Post Materialists), who had been deprived of his factory and all possessions at some meoment, so that I had to buy a new risograph, to discover finally that the cover wasn't really suitable for it; as a result we still offer risography services. Total print run of 36 copies, numbered by hand with ab unprecedentedly labour-intensive way.
