After 20-plus years navigating strange, inspiring trips across myriad
underground psychedelic terrains with a host of fellow free folk,
righteous musician/head MATT VALENTINE (MV & EE, Tower Recordings,
etc) finally spills all possible beans in an unprecedented,
career-summarizing, ridiculously footnoted epic interview by BYRON
COLEY. Plus: Deep archival photo finds from the MV vaults, a sidebar
wander through some important MV listening experiences with your guide
Dan Ireton, and a gorgeous cover painting by ARIK ROPER of MV & EE
at peace in the cosmic wild. Delicious!
