Double LP version. 16-page, 11x11 book and insert. The psychedelic masterpiece nobody
heard -- First ever official, authorized release of psychedelic mega-rarity. After
suffering an LSD-induced mental breakdown, Los Angeles-based songwriter Craig Smith
renamed himself Maitreya Kali and custom-pressed Apache / Inca, a double-LP documenting
his musical, personal, and spiritual journey. His message to the world, encoded on
the album jackets in rambling, quasi-mystical Messianic verse, was urgent, desperate,
delusional, and disturbing. Recorded between 1967 and 1971, the music tells a different
story. Achingly beautiful, haunting acoustic folk songs; luminescent psychedelic
folk-rock; eerie, off-kilter acid rock; fragments; field recordings-all meticulously
woven into a magical, mesmerizing whole. Apache / Inca is an extraordinary work.
Not the dark, self-indulgent ramblings of a cracked Messiah, but a thoughtfully-crafted
collection of work by a singer and songwriter of remarkable depth and talent whose
world was falling apart. Soon afterwards Maitreya -- and Craig -- disappeared into
the shadows. He died homeless in a North Hollywood Park in 2012. Decades after its
creation, Apache / Inca was discovered by collectors and hailed as a psychedelic
masterpiece. It is now one of the most revered and sought-after artifacts of the era.
Includes seven tracks by the Penny Arkade, produced by Michael Nesmith. Top quality
vinyl pressing at RTI; Heavy duty gatefold jacket by Stoughton Printing with all
original artwork; Repro of unique Inca inner sleeve with Maitreya artwork; Limited
edition of 500.
