order	foxglove139: saiko "sketches of several southwestern felons on the eve of their just demise" cd-r saiko is one of multiple monikers used by berlin-by-way-of-texas resident jeff gburek. as a friend and collaborator of such luminaries as tetuzi akiyama and charalambides' tom carter, gburek extends his guitar into a world of otherness. mixing in elements of obscured and manipulated vocals and minimal synthesizers, saiko is an cosmos-bound vessel appropriating the sea. this is the blues cut-up, pieced back together, and then drowned in the bathtub before ascending to the heavens. 100 copies
