Cassette compilation of Census of Hallucinations' recent material, with tracks taken from the albums Spirit of Yellow, Coming of the Unicorn and The Nine, and the EP Imagine John Lennon. As with all ZyNg tapes, the presentation is of a high quality, the package comprising a translucent fluorescent green tape and psychedelic artwork on high gloss photographic paper. The tape is limited to 100 copies and hand numbered. The music here covers a lot of ground, taking in spacerock, prog, classic melodic rock, psychedelic blues-rock, and experimental music, often with several of these styles combined within one track. There are song-based tracks, instrumentals, and narrations set to music, the latter category in particular tending towards a cynical, vitriolic, pull-no-punches tone. Census of Hallucinations are a highly creative collective of musicians with an eclectic approach, and this tape serves as an ideal introduction to the various sides of the band.
