about

Recorded live 1999 to two track normal human cassette at ungodly volume with the aid of some 12-bit samplers.

An exercise in forced minimalism, with a gear and recording reset after moving a few thousand miles.

Recorded live to glorious two track and at volumes that set off a burglar alarm in the building I was working in at the time (oops). A $70 chain store Strat copy, a 'nobody wants one of these' 1970s Sunn solid state amp, and a couple $40 rackmount twelve bit digital delays later, the project was complete in a few glorious evenings of mean, ugly noise.

2016 remaster. The album will never be clean and perfect, but it was never meant to be.
