RELEASE DATE

Recorded live on Sept. 22, 1991 and originally released by visionary operator
Nick Schultz
on Majora Records,
Tsunami .2↑
was, still is, and will remain a mysterious album. Because the music didn't represent or sound like either of the bands involved, they decided to call the group
Square 9
and chose to leave everybody's names off of it. No further information was given, only "Recorded at Grand Theater, Buenos Aires, Argentina". Until today, nobody knows exactly who was behind the record. Rumors came up that it was part of the Sun City Girls legacy, but the "truth" lingered in the dark. So unusual and experimental the approach to record this album was, so remarkable it finally turned out. By the time it was released back in 1992 only a few dedicated core followers were aware of its existence. Everybody played anything and everything on this recording, no specific instruments are assigned to players. Different instruments, various percussion instruments, a piano and other sound sources. Insiders maybe recognize the voices of
Su Ling
and
Alan Bishop
or a piano sounding like
Richard Bishop
playing it. Some of the live sounds have been treated and processed live by
W. David Oliphant
. It was an impromptu series of improvisations by
Sun City Girls
and members of
Life Garden
(W. David Oliphant's main working group after
Maybe Mental
) and probably the last recordings made by members of Sun City Girls before the band fully re-located to Seattle. In retrospect it is a belonging and relevant part of the history of both bands, which needs to be broadcasted to a wider audience. 30 years after the recordings were made, a remastered version of the album is made available through Unrock. While the original release was two side-long tracks, the remastered version is split into six separate tracks, remixed and mastered by W. David Oliphant. Square 9 were (in alphabetic order): Alan Bishop, Richard Bishop,
Charles Gocher
, Su Ling, W. David Oliphant,
Peter Ragan
. Vinyl cut by
Peter Koerfer
at Ivory Tower. Edition of 400.
