0. -- Main Announcement about AMERICAN ZEN featuring The Coyote --

The Year of the Christ ...Killer

Are you Christian?

Are you Muslim?

Are you Aethiest?

Are you Hebrew?

Whatever you are, check out the Mormons.

LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer was written and recorded in Utah, during Coyote's exile as a Mr. Mom.

The stories of Christ Killer are about Mormons and their families. Coyote learned about polygamy, incest, family love, child raising, and family life from the Mormons of Utah. Their incredible success in taming the wild and creating their civilization of Utah has taught them how to be successful in business also...

7. - - Books by The Coyote - -

Autumn Flavours

The dark stuff. The early writings of Coyote, 1974-75.

I think everything’s ready. This is a better quality book than the UTAH PHASE 1 poetry book. The page masters were typed on an IBM Selectric II typewriter. I mastered that machine.

Because we wanted the entire book to be color so you could read the ‘author notes’ written by Coyote in green pen -- we created a humongous file, 454MB, that is too large to download. However, the "reduced file size" is only 4.8MB.

MASTER PDF: 300dpi 454MB

PDF DOWNLOAD: 300dpi 5MB

About Shaolin Records:
Shaolin Records was launched in 1984, releasing vinyl records and cassette tapes of Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and folk rock music from Santa Monica, California. Our Zen Buddhist objectives of Shaolin Records are to 'enlighten and entertain™.' During the 1990s while located in Utah, Shaolin Records sold cassettes and books for American Zen, Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Gongfu and Taijiquan, Tai Chi Youth, and parent book publisher, Shaolin Communications. In 2003, Shaolin Records became a digital recording studio using ProTools recording software and Apple Macintosh computers.

About American Zen:
American Zen is led by The Coyote, of San Diego, California. Our sagebrush star moved to Salt Lake City, and was stranded. During his Utah exile, Coyote wrote the LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind, and LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer albums. Although the LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 albums were recorded in 4-track, we now have a better recording studio and are adding more tracks to the CHRIST KILLER album. You're gonna love it!
