about this album
The Shining Path is the 'rock band' version of minimalist duo Ilya Monosov and Preston Swirnoff. Like This Heat or Metabolist, The Shining Path are a Can/Faust-loving group that also exhales expansive psychedelic guitar excess with hints of Greg Ginn and the High Rise discography while tripping balls to a violent, throbbing, not-always-sosteady, Suicide-like rhythm. The 7" contains two raw, noisy, ecstatic live recordings from some of the very rare live shows The Shining Path played in San Diego in 2005. Both tracks are raw and relentless ... a taste of what can happen when punks get psychedelic. A blown out krautrock, wild noise space rock frenzy, some baffling mix of Can, Hawkwind, High Rise and Suicide - melting minds and destroying speakers. The additional multimedia CD features the two 7" tracks along with another livetrack, 'Full Throttle Lover', and four exclusive videos of The Shining Path playing live. Highly recommended viewing! VERY limited edition package of numbered white vinyl 7" and multimedia CD. In full colour wraparound picture sleeve. Apr 2008, TR010.
