Safe & Sane

Get ready for an outrageous, explosive musical experience with the album 'Safe & Sane' by Borbetomagus saxophonist Jim Sauter and Oneida / Man Forever drummer Kid Millions. Unlike their prior works of tight bursts and barbed assaults, Sauter and Millions go for ultra - endurance on this album. The opening track 'Chrysanthemum' is a 32 - minute epic that continues on Side B, followed by the 12 - minute 'Falling Spiders'. Sauter's saxophone, connected to electronics and amplification, produces sounds like the reedy drones of a hurdy - gurdy or Hendrix's scree, and monstrous overtones, achieving the sheets - of - sound Coltrane pursued. Kid Millions uses rapid rolls and polyrhythmic propulsion, blurring the line between energy music and primitive punk fury. At times, it seems he's outrunning Sauter's horn tornado but always stays in control. This is the first split release between Astral Spirits and Family Vineyard, each of which previously issued Sauter/Millions albums. The LP features amazing cover art by Dan Schechter and is limited to 500 copies worldwide.

To enjoy this album, simply play it on your preferred music player. There's no right or wrong way to listen - you can sit back and relax, or let it be background music. Since it's a limited - edition LP, handle it with care. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage to the vinyl and the cover art. If you're using a record player, make sure the needle is clean and in good condition for the best sound quality.
