This is the first semi-official release of Dreamt Of By Armadillos. That is to say, aside from a couple of self-released CD-Rs, this is the first slab of sonic goodness that is & remains largely available to the general public. It seems like it has been a long time coming as the group in one form or another has been in operation for about two years now practicing their own brand of space rock/funk/electronic experimentalism.

This CD-R is taken from some of their many marathon "practice" sessions. All recorded live to 2-track hard disk and then sometimes lovingly overdubbed. Overall, the sound still retains that raw, live quality. Limited to 140.

"Dreamt of by Armadillos" Dream #7

Reviewed in Dream Magazine #7:

Guitars, synthesizer, bass, drums, samples, phone, and more utilized to improvise these captivating glimpses of a seamless sonic fabric and manifesting manifold mysteries along the way. They play with a unified muscularity many contemporary improv outfits eschew. There are a couple tracks here that feel very much like space rock, but it’s all dreamily captivating.
