Released by Drunken Fish Records (DFR-15) in January 1995. Also known as Bufo Alvarius, Amen 29:15, as is printed on the front and spines of the CD release. The two formats feature slightly different artwork — on the LP cover, the title is not printed at the bottom, and “Bardo Pond” appears on the tongue.

1. Adhesive
2. Back Porch
3. On a Side Street
4. Capillary River
5. No Time to Waste
6. Absence
7. Vent
8. Amen [CD version only]

Bardo’s first full length LP, recorded in 1993 and 1994. 4-track recordings that sum up everything that Bardo Pond is. A brilliant debut. Vinyl lovers must swallow their pride and buy the CD version, as “Amen” is a half an hour of absorbing meandering that cannot be missed. Still in print through Drunken Fish.
