The Herd Of The Ether Space cassette album: “Alternative Transportation,” was the first Taped Rugs production of many that were released on 30 minute-long cassettes. The tape was co-distributed by OOH OOH MUSIC of Ohio. Like many other HOTES cassette albums, the recordings presented on Alternative Transportation were created long before the cassette’s 1993 release.

Side Two features two mixdowns from the live four-track tape recordings created at KPFA on January 30th, 1990 (showcased in Excerpt One of this podcast series). The night of the KPFA show was haunted by specters who infected the radio station’s electronics and produced broadcasts that sounded quite differently to the radio listeners than they did to the HOTES performers. Alternative Transportation provided the public an alternative auditory view of a couple of the HOTES radio show performances from that dark and spooky night: “The Most Beautiful Orange” and “Organ In My Car.” Both pieces are presented here.

Yet ANOTHER version of “Organ In My Car” will be on display in the next excerpt of this podcast series, which will be feature recordings from the rehearsal for the KPFA radio performance – material that was eventually released on the HOTES cassette album: “President Nixon Fights The Dope Scourge.”
