The Pair First Encountered Each Other At The Famous Motor City Record Store Record Time, When Detroit Artist Bmg Introduced His Then Co-workers Magda And Derek Plaslaiko To Arthur, Who Was Visiting The Shop From Chicago. Sometime After That Meeting, Magda And Arthur Went Into The Studio And Jammed Together For A Week, The Session Was Recorded Live On Analog 1/4 Tape And Then Three Tracks Were Selected For Release. 1a Is Six And A Half Minutes Of Modulated Synth Sounds That Are Psyched Out And Sci-fi, Spooky And Truly Atmospheric.

Last Of All, 2b Snakes And Slithers Its Way Through Undulating Drums, Cosmic Freakiness And Gloopy Synth Sounds That Are All Seductive And Subversive In Equal Measure. This, Then, Is A Truly Fascinating Pairing.
