Credited to CF Moore and first released on his Folded Time research imprint on June 12, 2026.

The publicity note advises: ‘Continued fieldwork by CF Moore, this time venturing into the north-eastern reaches of the Mojave Desert. From Death Valley to Rhyolite along Route 374, from Beatty to Amargosa Valley along Hwy 95, before arriving at the southern perimeter of the Nevada National Security Site on the Mercury Hwy.

‘This is the closest point of public access to Wahmonie Flats, and the “cultural resource” designated as “Site 26NY9843”. According to a Desert Research Institute report, “components of site 26NY9843 were a small and diffuse prehistoric lithic artifact scatter, consisting of a few flakes, and the abandoned historic mining town of Wahmonie dating to the late 1920s”. But, as SW Paher noted in 1970, “since the 1950s the ghost of Wahmonie have been disturbed by atomic testing”.’

Release Note: The first edition of this release included the recording ‘Wahmonie, Nevada’ on a 3-inch CDR along with a “24-page printed resource featuring texts about the Project Pluto nuclear tests at Wahmonie, Nevada, and period photography of the decommissioned test site”. An additional recording, ‘Remote Site Survey, Area 26’ was included as a digital download. This new edition contains both recordings on a single disc.
