Packaged in a full color custom made book bound 10 panel sleeve. A double vinyl version, "Chalchiuhtlicue" will also be issued with three mixes by Nadja and one mix by Edward Ka-Spel from the 2xCD version. That's right kids! Yes you can mix your own Nadja album! Night and day, you are the one. Only you beneath the moon or under the Jaguar Sun& Now youre messing with a sun of a bitch. Lets count backwards. The second disc in this set Quetzalcoatl diffuses into the air an alien vocabulary of electronicesque gargles and hums. A soundtrack made from the residue left after a subterranean dowsing for the echoes of collapsing stars. These disembodied post-transmissions form up in a Minervas Web of sunken Titanic ghosts, slow moaning as from distant caverns. Disc one of the set, Tezcatlipoca is the actual collapsing of stars. Or, perhaps the exploding majesty of every days new sun being reborn, as it once again defeats those Xibilbas and rises to arc through its dominion again. This monstrous soul goes from grumbling angrily to mowing the heavens. Parts even cross into early Swans territory with aggressively fractured pacing. But all roads lead to the final track which is an epic length doom metal anthem of sweating proportions. Wave after wave of crushing fuzz slowly pummel speakers into diamonds and rust. A relentless solar rotorvating blasterpiece. Which brings us to part 3 of this 2 CD set. Both CDs have been composed to also be played simultaneously, in a much more useable fashion than the Zaireekas of the world. So, if Tezcatlipoca is overground and Quetzalcoatl is underground (or, more likely, the reverse) their combination must be all things&.and no things. Maybe the sound of the end of things. The resultant juxtaposition is a colossal celestial being smiling down on all he tramples.
