The cassette album: "Aberrations Of Collaboration" was released in 1999 by Taped Rugs Productions. It was the first and only Turkey Makes Me Sleepy (TMMS) album to incorporate musicians outside of the group's core trio. All of the pieces presented here are unedited improvisations. No additional materials nor sound effects have been added to them. The usual wide variety of instruments, non-instruments, pre-recorded media, sound effects, etc., which glues together every TMMS recording is present here, but the additional musicians add extra dimensions which propel these pieces into unexplored areas of sonic space.
Some Specifics:
1) "The Situation" and "Vincent Price Surrenders To Communism" include bits of telephone messages provided by Hal McGee and Brian Noring. McGee and Noring were supposed to have driven from Des Moines, Iowa, to the Taped Rugs studio in Lawrence, Kansas, for the session on October 10th, 1998. However, complications prevented their departure. Goff suggested that they telephone in some sonics to the studio, where TMMS could input them into their improvised performances that day.
TMMS phoned some sounds of their own to McGee and Noring in Des Moines that day as well. McGee and Noring incorporated them into a recording entitled: "Tunnels Under The Public Road," which was released through Noring's FDR label later in 1998 on the cassette album entitled: "Anvil & Stirrup."
2) "Nocturia," "Sinister French Elves On Film," and "The Last Days" were recorded on New Year's Day, 1999, at the Taped Rugs studio in Lawrence, Kansas. TMMS was joined by multi-instrumentalist Dave Haney, who in 2000 became a member of The Magic Potty Babies along with Adams, Goff, and Joshua Duringer.
One of the many elements that Goff manipulated into these New Year's improvisations was a collection of prerecorded cassettes provided to him by Anthony Washburn and John Dent (of Wholeness Recordings/The American Tract Society/The Implicit Order).
3) "The League Of Crappy Guitarists" and "Vain & Bitter" were recorded at the Taped Rugs studio in Lawrence, Kansas, over the Thanksgiving (Turkey) holiday in 1998. TMMS was joined by guitarist Stuart Sands, one of the earliest intiates to join Herd Of The Ether Space. Sands' involvement in Taped Rugs Productions dates back to before the label was founded in 1980.

Oh my beak and feathers! I believe that Hieronymus Bosch, Kurt Schwitters, and Terry Gilliam would all find this video worthy of their attention, but who am I to speak for them? As for me, a "Bravo" or even a "Bravisimo!" would at the least seem in order. This genuinely makes me wonder what visions appear in the dreams of sleeping turkeys...
