Released in an edition of 1000 copies. Tracks 4 to 6 are CD only tracks. Most CD copies of Xaman suffer from the PDO "disc rot" problem, resulting in a bronzing disc surface, audio glitches and potentially unplayable tracks, particularly in the later stages of the album. [Booklet notes:] Track 1: recorded live to 8-track, Feb 1, 1990. No overdubs. A radically different version of this track can be found on the Forced Exposure 7". Track 2: recorded May 11, 1990. One inaudible guitar overdub. Track 3: basic track recorded at a forgotten date. New lead guitar part overdubbed May 11, 1990. Music inspired by Mission Of Burma's 'New Disco'. Title comes from Lewis Shiner's novel 'Deserted Cities Of The Heart'. Track 4: from the first Skullflower studio recording session, sometime in 1987. Live to 8-track. This number was rejected by several labels when submitted for compilations. Track 5: recorded Feb 1, 1990. One guitar overdub, plus sort of 'vocal' by Stuart. Music and title inspired by Little Feat. Track 6: recorded May 11, 1990. One guitar overdub. Track 8: recorded live to 8-track, Feb 1, 1990. © 1990 Shock CD Total time: 66.30
