Label: Fire Museum Records Notify Me (What is this?)
My Country of Illusion is a project of Barnmaster Scud and Doctor Tiki. The two have collaborated for over ten years playing experimental psychedelic "jambient" sounds at various strange and obscure locations in New Mexico and galaxies far, far away. My Country of Illusion's name derives from Disney's Mexican release of Alice in Wonderland, "Alicia en el pais de ilusion." The name reflects the illusory nature of reality experienced by the artists, and also is a commentary on the dream world in which the sounds and samples from their music emanate. The music of My Country of Illusion is based on guitar improvisation but is deconstructed and reconstructed through an intuitive process of sampling and sequencing. Many of the cuts on American Dream Life are live recordings, while others are looped and reassembled dispatches from the harmonic underworld and Goodwill record bins. Voices and thoughts stream in and out of the music as if one were floating through an electronic bardo, drifting through the grid like phantasms. This is the afterlife of the American Dream, the world of the pop undead, mixed jambient soundbites from the collective sonic mind.Want to hear it? Click here Need more info? Try an

Customer Reviews:
On 2005-11-20 00:00:00, 'Don Poe, EAR/Rational Staff Reviewer' gave the following review:
Trippy recordings with old samples from weird movies and self-help records from the 40s. Other times they sound like middle-eastern voices warped and slowed. This is surreal music, swirling around your head like a dream that makes you wake up on the underside of the bed. What is going on? I feel sick and keenly aware that I am very excited about this music. Guitars, drums and the usual done in a very unique way that chills me and makes my skin crawl. It isn't evil music, just very demented. A perfect soundtrack to the weirdest Spaghetti Western ever.
