"I was lucky enough to hang out with this cat and do a few live shows with him out on the East Coast, and man... I gotta say, dude delivers! I actually saw Ian perform as Dream Safari but, if anything, this new incarnation just turns everything up a notch... or down...however you wanna look at it! I guess down would be more appropriate. Cause this is deep, deep stuff! Fantastic Underwater Panther Music! The two times I saw Ian play live (and on all the cassette releases I have encountered) there is a definite progression that his pieces live through. This is something that is missing in many (MANY!) drone projects you might encounter, in which most finished pieces sound like they were chopped out of some large sprawling jam. Not with Gitchi. You can tell these pieces were self contained. A definite beginning, middle and end, you know? You can easily imagine these creations as living things as you listen to them originate, grow and die. Fleshy pink tapes. Individually hand-stamped covers on beautiful vintage paper. Limited to 99 copies."
