K. Leimer is an active musician for the past 4 decades and has released avantgarde and experimental music under his own name on his Palace of Lights Imprint / Label which he started in 1980 to release his or other artists works and projects such as Marc Barreca, Michael William Gilbert, Anode or the group Savant which he is the founding and leading member). His first two Tape-Recordings included on this 2Lp-Set were released on Robert Carlbergs Anode Productions in 1979 (‚Transluscent/Memory’ & ‚Natural History/The Mind and its Likeness’). Both Tapes were also distributed via Archie Patterson’s Eurock. ‚It’s best to consider these recordings as a homage to much admired and deeply loved music of the time; to consider these recordings as the artifacts of lessons being learned during simultaneous attempts at conceiving, writing, voicing, engineering, recording, and mixing something that might at least seem to be music. It’s also best to consider that the one card that repeatedly found its way out of the Oblique Strategies deck and into my hands pre-vented me from erasing almost all of it: Honor thy mistake as a hidden intention. K. Leimer
