Experimental electronic LP The Clearing was originally self-released on vinyl in 1988 under the moniker used by the late Barry Craig who was a prolific artist operating on the fringe of the ambient electronic and avant garde DIY music scenes of California from the 1980's up until his premature death in 2011. First becoming known in early 80's postpunk group Afterimage, Craig was responsible for documenting the growing trance music scene emerging in LA. In 2008 Craig re-mastered the album and three tracks were added for the first time since their original mid-1980's cassette tape release.
