Release Information

Previously unreleased Erickson material from 1971 to 1985, much of a
stripped-down or solo acoustic nature; the five solo 1971 cuts were
recorded, for instance, at Rusk State Mental Hospital (where Roky was
an inmate). Although a sticker on the cover notes that these are
"lo-fidelity field recordings, " in fact the sound quality is listenable
and not a hindrance, save for a brittle (and brief) version of "I Pledge
Allegiance." Erickson's solo recordings are noted for their preoccupations
with ghouls and comic-book imagery, but these songs (which are not
available in any other form) -- particularly those from 1971-74 -- omit
those traits almost entirely. Instead they are tender, sincere, and
melodic performances, with a naked vulnerability shining through both in
Roky's yearning vocals and the folk-rockish turns of phrases. There is
little else in the Erickson catalog to compare it to, other than maybe the
Holiday Inn tapes, except that the performances here are far more committed
and together. Erickson's colorful bouts with mental instability, both
inside and outside his recordings, have tended to overshadow his more
straightforward musical gifts. This is the recording, above all others,
that demonstrates the strengths of his uniquely gentle and mystical writing
and singing when these qualities are not subsumed by his inner demons.

ATM99 News & Information

- N E W S -

May 24th 1999

Today me, Gunde, and Aeonizer has decided to start a new group, ATM`99.
We made this decission when we heard that many ppl want us two back as
leaders. But you might ask why not stay as the atm is now, and that is
quite easy to answer. We don't want to be the atm as you remember it from
lately. we want to put friendship and fun on the top. You will see many
ppl that was in atm from the very beginning and you will also se some
new guys.

What are we going to stand for?
We are going to stand for top quality releases. And we are going to
release all kind of music that hasn't been released before.

If you think you belong in ATM`99 then don't be afraid to ask us. We
are looking for new rippers.

We also want to welcome our new members to the ATM99 family, may the
releases and our friendship be with you, guys!.
