* PREORDER * QUINTRON - Spellcaster II (Death In Space) LP
* PREORDER * expected to arrive early-mid August
Follow-up to 1995’s The Amazing Spellcaster (live at the Pussycat Caverns), which was the first proper Quintron organ album and the one that he released and toured on after meeting Miss Pussycat in New Orleans. Their nightclub, Spellcaster Lodge (opened July 4, 1996) was named for the 1995 album.
Most of these instrumental tracks were originally recorded as soundtrack material for the science fiction film, Mirza the Miraculous, directed by Brent Joseph. There is a new track “Greenwashed Planet” which was recorded at the end of the Mississippi River, using Quintron’s Wildlife Organ. “I Hear Voices” is the vocal version of the title track and did not appear on the original release.
This version also includes updated original cover artwork by prolific abstract painter (also Q’s uncle), Vint Blackburn. Quintron grew up with this piece hanging on the living room wall in St. Louis—it helped to suck him into this life somehow. Sadly, madman Blackburn passed in 2023. The updated cover for this release serves to honor his work and its influence.
