Phinney/McGee
Usufruct (1989)
CDR 59 minutes
$7.00
Usufruct was the first collaborative effort of Chris Phinney (of Mental Anguish and Viktimized Karcass) and Hal McGee (of Dog As Master and Viscera). Recorded at Electronic Cottage Headquarters in Apollo Beach, Florida on October 13-15, 1989. Live improvisations of abstract, spacey electronic music forged with classic analog synthesizers -- Korg Poly 800, ARP Axxe, and Moog Rogue. Originally released on Phinney's Harsh Reality Music label. Four long tracks that take you on trips through exotic dreamstates, all with an abrasive industrial bite. Kind of like Tangerine Dream meets Throbbing Gristle, or something like that...

Phinney/McGee
Heads (1990)
CDR 56 minutes
$7.00
Heads was the second release by Chris Phinney and Hal McGee. More classic spacey electronic synth music exploration, featuring the sounds of the Korg MS-20, Moog Rogue and ARP Axxe. This P/M album was a mail collaboration. Much of the raw material of this music actually pre-dates Usufruct. In August of 1989 McGee sent two-track recordings of un-treated Moog Rogue and ARP Axxe to Phinney. Chris added effects to Hal's synth recordings, and added his own MS-20, Axxe and Rogue material in February and March of 1990. He mixed the tracks down on March 18th. Much of this music is based on drones and static synth patterns that seem to burn with a cold blaze in your subconscious mind. Originally released on Phinney's Harsh Reality Music label.
