A cross between calmer King Crimson, chamber music, and avant-jazz. There's something even a bit proggy about these artsy, heavily improvised instrumentals. Two guitars, viola, and woodwinds take the forefront -- the guitars, especially, steer things towards a minimalist one-note hopping or a Crimson-like, rock-informed flow. There's also a solo wordless vocalist, and of course bass and drums. Artsy modern-musical fun, not too academic.

1- Klezmer: Slow , drawn out intro, then midtempo popping guitars, almost King Crimson-like
2- Cool, scratchy viola groove

3-6 - Thirty-second minatures. #5 is fun and messy. #6 is goofy.

7- (18:10) Grand, slow start, into some quirky guitar/sax work. Stops at +5:43 for a staggery, avant-jazzy zone with cool bass and skittish guitars. Quiet zone midway, contemplative, even mystical. Ends with some aggressive bursts and pulses.

8- Pulsy stabs and stop/starts. Kinda cool.
9- Monk cover!
10- A boingy 27 seconds.
11- Vocals! A breathy and sometimes intense piece.
12- Stiff pulse, goofy little embellishments. Controlled mess!
13- Breezy and a bit exotic, with wandering sax
14- A drifting landscape. Distant and mysterious, but develops a cool beat later
15- Low-key but active, towards a dark, questioning crescendo

16-19 - More minatures, a bit sillier than the first set.

20- Searing, nearly bluesy guitar.
21- Fairly fast and tense.
22- Monk again! But done in a stranger, more chaotic way
