Features first-hand accounts from Hypnosonics witnesses and artwork by Mark Sandman

More lost recordings from Mark Sandman's archives! Two lost shows from the Hypnosonics! The LP version is culled from a rare NYC show and a legendary Boston gig, and unveils three new Mark Sandman songs that became eventual Morphine cuts served up by his "secret band."

"There was so much sexuality oozing out of those songs but also humor... a lot of wry dry wit and downright silliness. super sophisticated silliness and all of it transportive, ecstatic, transcendent. There was nothing quite like seeing Hypnosonics and all of us in the audience knew it. We knew this was some pure sonic magic and we were totally hypnotized." — Margaret Garrett (Mr. Airplane Man)

"There is something pure and iconically rock n' roll at the heart of all of Mark Sandman's projects and bands, which manifested to an apex with his impossibly grooving band Hypnosonics. He knew: girls always, ALWAYS, want to DANCE — first and FOREMOST. Standing in front of a live band — they want to melt away their minds, forget about their emotions, let go of the world, and land — IN THE BODY, ON EARTH, eyes CLOSED — where the blood starts to pulse, and the hips start to shake, and the feet start to twitch and one is just — gone baby gone... to the beat of course, but also to every surprise thread of instrumentation — which is where the hands rejoice in their flourishes and the soul flies free alongside of every note and improvisation... At least, that's what always happened to me standing in front of these incredible players!!!!!" — Linda Viens, Musician (Girl With A Hawk)
