This piece of music is track #24 on the compilation called Everything You Always Wanted to Know about '60s Mind Expansive Punkadelic Garage Rock Instrumentals But Were Afraid to Ask. I bought this at Jackpot Records on SE Hawthorne Blvd in Portland in the mid 90s. The album notes have no mention of 101 Strings being the artist, but there are dropped hints.
I remember first hearing the fuzzed out tremolo guitar at the beginning and thinking, "Well, this is a promising start." It is a spooky instrumental, with cellos and violins slowly creating the feel of a bad trip. The liner notes refer to 'some barking cello that you'd swear was your pet hound on doggie downers.' Nice.
Are there really 101 strings in this image? I'll just take their word for it.
