West of the East

1989, Fang Records: Church of Betty's first CD, made following Chris's maiden voyage to South Asia in 1988. Aggressively progressive songs with avant concepts, dissonance, sound collages of field recordings Rael made in India and Nepal, and Rael's earliest experiments with sitar and Nepalese horns. Rael plays almost everything himself, with cameo appearances by Adam Cohen and Jan Kotik of the Mommyheads, experimental composer Elliott Sharp, and singer Kevin Miller. This is where it all began!
