I remember seeing the video for the first song you’re about to hear on this tape and thinking: “the EVIL River? How’d they make it evil?”

The answer is with an extra crunchy, extra long Phrygian jam that sounds like some kind of Moroccan nightmare. And that’s really the through-line on most of the material on this cassette– it’s just so spooky.

But not spooky to begin with, for the most part, we’re focusing on songs like the (Evil) River that were modified to have a jam section in an extra freaky mode.

Ice V also gets distinctively spooky in this set as well, while the I’m In Your Mind suite and the Dripping Tap are just heavy enough anyway to be along for the ride.

Keep an eye out for future installments of this series of evil jams from Red Rocks coming soon from Analog Revolution Records and Cassettes for Me.
