Anyone here know about Ⓚ - Three Pillars Of Limbic Fission (private-press, 2009[?] - limited-to-one psych-folk/industrial cassette found in Ohio)?

The only Secret Boyfriend albums I've heard are This Is Always Where You've Lived and Memory Care Unit on Blackest Ever Black. Your tape definitely sounds like something that BEB or Low Company would be interested in.

Listened to some of the Secret Boyfriend stuff - I really dig it and definitely see how some of the vibe overlaps, but there's something very implacable about Ⓚ's work in contrast to anything I've heard along similar lines. Maybe it's how every element resolves in this very organic-seeming manner - the use of loops and, estimably, a DAW don't undercut the Acid Archives/4-track feel. It's pretty nuts when you think about it.

Curious if anyone else has a suggestion on where we can go from here in terms of getting this to someone that might know more.

I can't helpfully contribute here, but just wanted to say thanks for sharing this story. Fascinating.

You're very welcome! I do hope someone sees this eventually and recognizes it as a friend's work. This is quite understandably the most interesting record I possess and more than anything else, I want to thank the dude responsible.

Not too much new to report, but I discovered earlier today that the utterance at the end of Free Out is sampled from a 2001 episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm - compare 3:25 in this video with 7:14 or so in the aforementioned song. While I'm pleased to have settled the origin of another aspect of the recording, I'm a little bummed out that it wasn't audio verité of the 'Laura' cited by the included note. Incidentally, the full scene revolves around a character named 'Kim'. Kim can be a unisex name - perhaps including this sample was a nod to what might be Ⓚ's real name? A major stretch, perhaps, but one that could be one worth following up on.

As well, I heard from Kevin from Pink Reason a few weeks ago - a friend showed him the tape and he reached out to let me know that the artist is not him. He passed on another lead but that individual was also not Ⓚ. Anyone else that wishes to help me investigate this, please feel free to pass along leads or simply chime in on this thread.

Hope everyone's doing as well as they can with quarantine and social distancing.

Huh, I missed this post before. Thank you for sharing. I have no useful information whatsoever!

Thank you for checking it out. Neither do I!

I have one friend that might know about something like this, will text him

Hey, that's great. Thank you!
