GAMEHENGE '09
In the spirit of experimentation, collaboration and fun, 100 sound artists have re-interpreted Phish's coveted Gamehendge album to create Gamehenge '09!!! This is a kaleidoscopic joyride through bizarre sound demi-genres. We are not a jam-band label. Involved are artists from the ambient, brutal noise, bent, chip, sludge, un-folk, etc. traditions.
Whether you are a Phish fan or not, they have become a ritualistic-psychedelic necessity for a distinct and vast niche of the American people. The massive collection of new artists featured on Gamehenge 09 offer a refreshing vantage point from which to reconsider Phish's psychedelic music tradition and to shed light on possible future avenues. The point of this release is to breath new, forceful vision into this modern piece of Americana mythology. The source material is here treated with healthy, childish wonder.
Some of the involved parties are RINGS, Capitol K, Karl Blau, Video Hippos, Gangi, GDFX, Whitman, Teeth Mountain, Larkin Grimm, ShitMat, Antique Brothers, Mit Nye Band, Gangpol and Mit, Tunnels, Yellow Crystal Stars, Power Pill Fist, Truckasaurus, Christian Science Minotaur, and so many more (full roster listed below)... all sections are between 10secs and 3 minutes, the entire album is 1.3 hours.
The album is available as a free download at:

GAMEHENGE HISTORY
What is Gamehendge? Gamehendge (also known as The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday) was originally written and recorded by Trey Anastasio, the main songwriter for Phish, for his senior thesis at Goddard College between '87 and '88. It is a nine-song concept album about other planets, lizard people, and the like. It basically sounds like wacky jam music peppered with spoken narrative. There has never been a studio recording made of Gamehendge. Phish has only performed Gamehendge live five times (1988, 1991, 1993, and twice in 1994) a fact which, considering that they have performed thousands of shows, has pushed this work to mystical heights.
