Head and Leg

In Your Dreams (Seeland)
by Jeff Fritz

In all likelihood, you’ve never before heard anything like Head and Leg unless you’re old enough to remember the Firesign Theater. Of course, if you experimented with the Firesign Theater, you’ve probably lost large chunks of your retentive abilities and by now you’ve forgotten ever hearing anything like Head and Leg before. This is not the kind of thing you hear on an average day. If it is, there’s nothing average about your day.

In Your Dreams, a sound collage made up of ambient and musical noise interspersed/intertwined with shrieked and sighed and spoken words, reminds me most of the soft mayhem that alpha-waves through your mind as it straddles the threshold of unconsciousness, the elastic moment in which the line between cogitation and hallucination becomes indistinct. Head and Leg have taken that microcosm of mental morass and pulled it out long and thin like a bunch of taffy strings which they’ve rewoven into a vision all their own; a series of dreamscapes and bizarre situations that should be heard through stereo headphones for maximum cerebral osmosis.
