This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

"Tonight in the Explorers Room we revisit our Fine Art of Fragments show – a kaleidoscopic collage of interstitials, miniatures, album fillers, and short-form freakouts, nearly all under 90 seconds – and replay whole sets from that program backwards AND forwards simultaneously (with a selective hand at the controls) in order to reveal the hidden god, lick his funky emotions, and boil in psychedelic phenomena. An experiment in chance juxtapositions and layer peeling, an homage to backmasking. Screw your head on tight and pull one with the ancients."

The first backwards intitional record I listened to was that Tommy James and the Shondells record I found. I had to have to ask my father what it meant, evidently, it was a smarty folksy saying...
