This is a 12" re-mix and re-issue of Monster Magnets legendary Tab that was on the band's first album Spine Of God and originally on the ep Forget About Life, I'm High On Dope, alongside a 2021 remix by John McBain who was an original member, alongside Tim Cronin and Dave Wyndorf. This monster or a two-version set reveals the bands influences from Spacemen 3 to the Stooges, Velvet Underground, Hawkind and every space case's favorites Crystallized Movements as this record will melt your mind. Both versions are over 24 minutes long.
The a-side is the 2021 mix of the legendary Tab Monster magnets early acid drenched trip into the musical and psychic beyond. Slowly this builds, cortexes open, vistas emerge, tones shift shattering shards of notes, from deep within the psychedelic malaise, stoned voices witter away, following the guitars into space, Stoogeaholic riff walls, Stretching colors, clouding the miasma of noise invading your brain, freaking you further out. Voices in your head taking over like a babbling doped up monologue of scenes within scenes.
Minds fried, flaking brains staring beyond the Psychedelic oblivion, if you still feel straight after hearing this you will almost never be stoned. False endings reboot the riff rifling through your mind.
The b-side is the original 1988 demo of Tab, it grinds into view like the bastard offspring of We Will Fall and Sister Ray, metronomic Moe like drums, Asheton hued guitars, didgeridoo style vocal howls, open doors into the psychedelic state pinning you to the wall, staring into space, flying out of place, against the all-encompassing welter of sound. You've dropped out, freaked out, are totally doped out, to what becomes your perfect smashed existence.
The middle monologue clearer, dark horrific tale of a real bad scene, music screams into the void, to obliterate the painful memories. Fuzzy as hell guitars endless repetition looping your blistered brain, words of advice, hatred, love two for the dog screaming over and over, freaking the place out. Like Little Doll's fallen down the stairs collapsing into Mary Ann trance tranche ending.
