Universal Drone

Limited cassette release on SlowBurn Records (1988)

songs –Drone, October, Driftin’ Blues (live), Currents, Whale, Sadness, Give It All Away, Tales Of Brave Ulysess, …And the Sun Dawned on Me, Drone (live)

Eric Johnson – all instruments and vocals except “Drone (live)” and “Driftin’ Blues (live)” performed by Isis Rising –  Eric Johnson – guitar, vocals; Young Arnold – bass; Brian Pott – drums

This dark and often troubled-sounding sophomoric effort, Drone sound both like the feverish delusions of the sick and the marijuana-madness of youth.  From the bizarre title-track opener, through the primitive cover of Cream’s “Tales of Brave Ulysses” ending on with the almost new-wave “…And The Sun Dawned On Me,” Drone is a weird one.  The CD is made more diverse by the addition of outtake recordings of Universal’s live ensemble counterpart Isis Rising.
