"In 1980, Dave, Barney, and Bev dragged their gear into the basement studio at the Mars Everywhere house (Mars Everywhere was Barney’s band at the time) and recorded a series of tapes straight through without stopping. No overdubs. Barney christened the group The Hydrogen Band. This EP is the second in a series of three recordings that will be made available on Bandcamp as digital downloads. The recordings were all de-mixed and re-mastered by Ian Beabout at the Rec. Room. Barney and Bev have since passed on from this world, but I can’t help but think that they’d be glad these recordings finally came to light.
Note: There are two short sections (about a minute each) on "The House on the Hill" where I accidentally mixed in a whole other session overtop of the original session. I didn't mean to; when I looked up at the screen, I found these two unintended short sections sitting there in two different spots of the piece (lord, I hope this makes sense!), and I was going to mute them or delete them, but when I listened back to them, I liked the combination of added sounds. I know it sounds crazy, but I got a feeling that Barney and Bev had a hand in this happy accident. I know I originally said that these tapes are being presented live, as they were recorded and without overdubs. There's a part of me that feels bad about that, but another part of me likes the mistake. Hope I can be forgiven for the transgression. It's still the essence and the spirit of this unique band, and I think this EP really gets that spirit across.

Thanks for sharing some of the backstory. I pick up just about all that Dave Newhouse releases. I did pick up this as well, but had not sink my teeth into it yet.
Thank you, Ian. I’m just now seeing this. Spot On summary of what went into this release.
Love this!
I believe the process of layering a musical performance over another musical recording is known as “xenochrony”. Frank Zappa used it extensively on Sheik Yerbouti and Joe’s Garage. This was great, Ian! I’ll be catching up on most (if not all) of these reviews! Thanks!
@@twostikks1 have you ever read a word, know exactly what it means - but have no idea how to pronounce it ?? That’s my relationship with the word ‘xenochrony’ 😛

LOL … I’m actually, usually pretty good at figuring out how to pronounce something, but I DO know what you mean! 😝
Yay!
