Mitchell and Manley: Norcal Values (2011)

I my view, anything released by Thrill Jockey is worth having in your collection. I fee the same way about Constellation and Kranky. The LP is a collaboration between Phil Manley (of Trans Am) and Isaiah Mitchell (or Earthless). The record was released in a limited edition of only 1000 copies for Record Stare Day 2011. I picked it up later in sale bin. It contains only two long tracks:

San Francisco Values (16:42)
Sausalito Values (18:44)

The record label says this: 

Floating down the Yuba River, hang gliding off the cliffs at Fort Funston, a day at Ocean Beach with the dog, a leisurely stroll in Golden Gate Park, a fat bag of Trainwreck; these are among the many images that come to mind when listening to Mitchell and Manley’s Norcal Values.

Inspired by his spiritual advisor, Bettina Richards, Phil Manley recruited the shredding stylings of Earthless’ Isaiah Mitchell to collaborate on a record comprised almost exclusively of a single continuous guitar solo. The recording was made live with no overdubs - completely improvised. This recording exhibits inspiration so pure that it could only come from within. Drawing from the classical Indian music tradition as well as from modern new age music, Norcal Values is the sonic equivalent of fine Californian cuisine. We invite you to dine upon its bountiful aural splendor. Bon appetite!

That's a evocative description.
