about

Megachannel Extratrerrestrial Array (known as META) was released as a CDr on March 15, 2000 to on the Total Zero label (TZCD03) in an edition of 99 copies. It was Phÿcus’ 2nd release on CDr, and 19th release overall.

The original plan was to eventually release this on vinyl, but after the financial disaster that was “X”, plans changed. Instead, Total Zero concentrated on releasing newer material. Musically, META takes the minimalism of “X” into even darker territory, inspired by the Wasteland events and the Ottawa duo of Otis Wound and Jester Sven.

Tracks on the original CD:
01 Take it To The Streets (META)
02 Transmolecularization (META)
03 Gdy Nadejdzie Ten Dzien (META)
04 Smash Out Satan (META)
05 Smash Out Satan II (META)

Bonus Tracks:

From the META sessions:
06 Megachannelling (META)
07 Mystery Surgery Theatre (META)
08 The Day Will Come (META)
The “dub” version of Gdy Nadejdzie Ten Dzien. Appeared on the compilation CD “Destroyed Photograph”, released by Impulse to Injury Recordings, 2001. This was the last Phÿcus track to be officially released.

Recorded at The Clown Pad, Ottawa, 1999:
