Every time I think I've discovered everything Estradasphere-related that's left to discover I find More. The thread just keeps unraveling forever

#Currently looking into the archived website(s) of lodusphere / lotusfear ; a Very obscure 2001-2003 (?) LA local band that - #- was heavily influenced by esphere / bungle / etc and included Adam Stacey a few years before he joined palace-era esphere outright #they opened for esphere at least twice too. and sleepytime gorilla museum! #they also opened for Kevin Kmetz's pre-Esphere projects and one lone reddit comment implies Kevin was at one point a lotusfear member #though i have reason to believe that's not true #all I can find of their music is 2 youtube vids and 3 archive.org set recordings (havent actually listened to them yet...) #their discogs page lists one self-released cd w/ one 18-minute-long song but their site mentions a live ep - #- that gets literally zero hits on google + an unnamed studio album that was supposedly debuted live 12/08/2002 #but it may not be the same album as the one that's listed on discogs cuz the discogs page says 2001?? who knows man #WAIT ESPHERE'S PRESS KIT SAYS IT WAS RELEASED 2003 so discogs is probably wrong #if only i could find it... it's not on soulseek or anything
