Liner notes: 
One man All-made record-excavator into the deep limbo of egoXploitation—Features 43 min. of decadent loco self-conduct & mystifying woodoo’lectric playing, directly dropped down from the sole complexion of individual force as a plural human’s sonic concoction, the alone-lineup that never existed but in the incarnation of one : Full-Blown Expansion. 
Get into Gunslingers‘ founding member alchemy — supreme wild stuff of weird, abstract & deviationist multi-instrumental solo performs, improvised & composed and elevated separately on each instrument & track by GR (mostly in one take). 
Along with the whole instrumental lineup, analog 4 track tape recording & other insinuation not to be mentioned ____the record comes up in a strictly limited edition of 300 white coloured vinyls LPs. 
Careful with that « Descent along the an-ti-fohn-nul » ‘s 13 min. of extensionist drumming and seminal acid stoned guitars & wah-vocals driving that leads to the great infernal Boogie accident— Vs the regular alternation (in rhythm & guitar color tone) of the fuzzy oniric « Transfiguration on a sepiachord »— Vs the wizardesque inspiration of « The metal spike », GR’s one very archetypal & representative of the instant composition process & the superposition of orchestral muses. 
And careful again with that explosive insane unmethodic « The intercessor speaks », some ultra-shouting wave’s traumatic 7 min. towards the abyssal fluxus of koZmic Rock—Vs « The scene/slowly’s getting louder »’s ritual rotative-leslie & expansive wah noise guitars coming with special voice box—Vs « all stoned day long they take you » ‘s impossible alinear & asymmetric instrumental superposition (includ. Transcendantal background organ) backing up immaculate spoken poetry—Vs the enigmatic analog keys & clair-obscure of « Blind Black or pearly white ».—Bliss !

LINER NOTES: 

Truth comes today from France’s Gregory Raimo, once again taking up the mantle of the performance moniker, GR. Raimo has been shredding with ingenious ferocity for a number of years now, both alone and as guitarist/vocalist for Gunslingers, a power trio fortified by his relentless barrage of guitar noise and rhythmic imperative (check their 2008 LP No More Invention if you’re interested in having the skin flayed off your back this week). A Reverse Age is Raimo’s third and most intense solo album, following a collaborative EP with Michael Yonkers. Those of you in the know will hear Yonkers’ late ‘60s period influence, whether it be myth or reality (only the artist is telling), as you might also find the strange, hissing atmosphere of Alien Soundtracks-era Chrome or the psychic limbering-up of The Magic Band evident in GR’s music. 

Real, productive damage comes from within, however, and that’s where A Reverse Age performs its miracles. It figures that you would need to go back 30 to 40 years in the history of underground or fringe music to find any sort of precedent to the eight songs of A Reverse Age. Its restless nature highlights Raimo’s frantic compositional structures and explosive playing across guitar, bass and drums alike, the product of one guy with real vision and the skills to pull off a work of virtuosic hostility such as this one. Riffs sizzle and burn up, pushed through effects that somehow cheapen lesser works yet bolster this one. Things you know – eldritch forest folk, roadhouse blues, aggressive jazz-style drumming – are distended near to the point where they become part of GR’s own musical syllabus, grounded by GR’s street-corner vocal hustle, sounding like Armand Schaubroeck rapping into a CB radio in a stolen car, out joyriding and knocking off side view mirrors. Every last moment on A Reverse Age was engineered to do damage, and it does so in the impossible confines of reality, an assaultive and merciless run through the uncleared brush, screaming and bleeding with contact from nature. This is music that truly does not lets up until the record spins to a close, designed by and for travelers who subscribe to the higher mind, and know the promise that, properly tended, such an organ can reveal. This is the reality of the psychedelic experience, folded up and fallen out of a dog-eared copy of TiKHAL, the truth that blots out the sun’s myth-making ways and externally-damaging rays. Check this out with pure intentions, and we’ll see you a few months from now, unshaven and beaming like a god.

First issued more than 10 years ago (in very limited deluxe edition of 100 handmade CDs/2007) by Lesdisques Blasphematoires Du Palatin — a memorable label name conveying a frontal cynicism towards the globalizing music appreciation's most canonical sphere —, Michael Yonkers & GR's The High Speed Recording Complex still remains today the unparalleled piece of Outsider Music it was predestined to be and, like the Phoenix rising again & again from the ashes of his aromas and incense nest, has sniffed the means of its own survival in the burning flames. 

Living about 4500 miles apart from each other, both men found through the distance, beyond space geography, the simplest process of all by just sending each other the parts captured (at high-speed) on their respective 4-track tape recorder, injecting new material coming out of "transatlantic delivery" with new layered sounds and so on until the sonic multi-dispatch gets dosed in an outrageous mix. They coined it "The High Speed Recording Complex". 
Out of the speakers this is some boiling lava of tremendous noise diffused on the surface of the skin, — move closer, this is just future Blues licensed by natural germination! 
in 2010, the album was reissued on LP by the Spanish label Burka For Everybody, offering on the same occasion a second master made by GR. 

11 years after its first release, a re-premiere of the complete album — with the original 2007 master — is made available by Opaque Dynamo, and for the first time with digital download option. 
It's time to plug your ears again to this ultra dynamic, raw & powerful concoction which raises the Lo-Fi approach to a pivotal degree of self-liberation.

CHRONICLES EXCERPTS : 

Yonkers isn't a smart arse, he doesn't look down on others, this record with the French GR is the drone which Charlie Patton would have liked to ride, mutant shit that Yonkers and GR burn phisically. It's urban blues which describes the outer limits with a cosmic urge in a hyperrealist way. Dudes!! Yonkers reveals himself in a god of thunder from Minneapolis in order to establish connection with the Mayas who built in Benidorm Eons times ago. On the whole, this guy definitely talked to ghosts and spirits. 

_ Excerpt from the notes of B.F.E's Vinyl LP edition 

... these two plug their electric guitars directly into your frontal lobes! With incessant, reverbed, choo-choo train rhythms on rattling percussion ... Alien distortodelic rock n' roll. 
Or, maybe, we're still asleep... 'cause we've GOTTA be dreaming. Is it really true that outsider underground guitar wranglers Michael Yonkers and Gregory Raimo team up on this lp? Yes indeed they do!
