I retrieved Junta, Hoist and Rift from the moth-eaten cabinets that have been snorting dust ever since I left for Pune last year. Come to think of it, except Rift, I hadn't touched any of the other (post-'2000) albums in way too long a time. So running those tapes — oh yes, I still have 'em on tape, Maxells are sturdy ones — was a little tricky, but all of them survived, and HOW.
There would be a time when all we did was listen to Rift, I know all the songs by heart. This album would, without a doubt, be on my list of 'Intelligent and Tasteful Album Art of All Time'. Even last night, I got goosebumps listening to the 'maniacal laughter' on My Friend My Friend.
Phish is releasing 4/26/96 via LivePhish to benefit musicians adversely affected by hurricane Katrina.
PS: Now that I know what Fish plays on The Wedge, it's double the fun.
