about

"Originally on a cassette run of 5 available only in Motherwell Library in 1989. Came with a black and white photocopied sheet with track names and redacted newspaper cuttings which hint at a murder around 1986 of a deaf boy from the area who was drowned in a ritualistic killing, one of many that occur often at the waterways around Motherwell.

Clemson left Scotland to work in Costa Rica where she was last in contact with her Uncle Thomas who passed on a cassette with some of her recordings and let us take notes from his scrap book that he has kept. Clemson herself has not been heard of since 1993 though it is thought that she had been involved with the Humberto Ttocs exporting firm of the Cordillera de Talamanca region doing tests into past life memory access."
