Lance Olsen and Thomas Anfield recorded a stream of consciousness session in the studio and the results are amazing. Using electronics, guitars and vocal elements all of these come together to make a very compelling work. What's particularly striking is the coherency of the resulting recordingand the way it seems to have a natural ebb and flow. The title sums it up I think as there's an earthy kind of bluesy feel to the guitars coupled with the reverb laden, distant voices. An odd but very satisfying release that gets better and better with each listen.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Studio Show </B></div> <div> <B>Thomas and Melo Anfield present </B></div> <div> <B>New Work</B></div> <div> <B>opening</B></div> <div> <B>November 14th  6 - 10 </B></div> <div> <B>November 15th 12 - 4 </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>643 e 24th (at fraser)</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.artsumbrella.com/events/fundraising/splash" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.artsumbrella.com/events/fundr"><B>Splash Art Auction</B></A></div> <div> <B>oct 4th </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Thomas is taking part in the 8th installment of the cheaper show</B></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.thecheapershow.com/" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.thecheapershow.com/"><B><U>thecheapershow</U></B></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Thomas's Painting Of daevid Allen And the University of Errors </B></div> <div> <B>Has been remixed and turned into a knock out cover for their dvd </B></div> <div> <B>University of Erors play the soft Machine , Live athe Uncon,</B></div> <div> <B>By David Bircham who was also responsible for the Pip and Pierre Murals (see Below)</B></div> <div> <B>available at </B><A HREF="http://www.voiceprint.co.uk/web/Release/UNGONGDVD001/" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.voiceprint.co.uk/web/Release/"><B>voice prin</B></A><B>t  or  </B><A HREF="http://www.planetgong.co.uk/" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.planetgong.co.uk/"><B>Gas</B></A></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1db189320.jpg" border=0 width="393" height="562" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>David Also Performed with Thomas at the Uncon during daevids Book Launch</B></div> <div> <B> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3d_7fblmJMc&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3d_7fblmJMc&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>  </B></div> <div> <B>New Video of </B><B><U>Radix at the Vag</U></B><B><U> </U></B><B> june 2007 fuse</B></div> <div> <B> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zsAzmo9vHJc&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zsAzmo9vHJc&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>  </B></div> <div> <B>Great Article by Jim Finlay in</B><B><U> </U></B><A HREF="http://www.preview-art.com/confessions/confessions04-2008.html" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="http://www.preview-art.com/confessions/c"><B><U>preview</U></B></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>BUTOH-a-GO-GO </B><B>will be performing with </B><A HREF="http://www.linkdance.ca/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.linkdance.ca/"><B>LINK DANCE</B></A><A HREF="http://www.linkdance.ca/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.linkdance.ca/"><B> </B></A><B>at the </B><A HREF="http://www.kaymeekcentre.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.kaymeekcentre.com/"><B>Kay Meek Center</B></A><B> </B></div> <div> <B>presenting a night of new work created in collaboration with behavioral scientists from </B></div> <div> <B>Simon Fraser University  May 2nd and 3rd 2008</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B> </B><B>Thomas is working on a collaboration with Artist </B><A HREF="http://www.lanceolsen.ca/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lanceolsen.ca/"><B>Lance Olson</B></A><B>.
