UPC: 4255805500415 Since its discovery in the late 90s, Dave Bixby's legendary $2000 private press album from 1969 is considered by all serious record collectors as the King in the loner/downer folk genre. First reissued by us back in 2009, we present a new, improved edition with newly sourced / remastered sound and extras. After being involved in 60s Michigan folk and garage-rock bands such as The Shillelaghs and Peter & The Prophets, Bixby started playing acoustic guitar and experimenting with LSD. After a year of drug abuse he felt broken. Starting a soul-searching, spiritual journey, he wrote "Ode to Quetzalcoatl" and most of the material for his second album, Harbinger's "Second Coming" in just one month and a half. Assisted by fellow musician Brian MacInness, who played some guitar parts on the album, Dave recorded "Quetzalcoatl" using a echo-laden four track machine in a flat's living room. The sound is lo-fi and sparse: just acoustic guitars and some occasional harmonica & flute, added to Bixby's haunting, emotional vocals, spiritual lyrics and solid songwriting. The opening cut, the eerie and painful "Drug Song" sets the mood perfectly for the rest of the album w hich contains more tormented titles like "666" , "Lonely faces", Open Doors", "Secret forest"... *Original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve *Restored and remastered in 24-bit domain at Grammy Award-winning Osiris Studio *Insert with detailed liner notes plus rare pictures and lyrics *Extra insert with the map/story of Quetzalcoatl by Dave Bixby *Download card
