Compilation of live and unreleased material from epic noise/rock/avante band 1997-2000 who went on to become The Psychic Paramount (yes, check them out too). A lot of this is free-jazz styled jamming, others veers into the total psyche rock realm. Organ, guitar bass drum, experimental sax (echoplex etc). Rightous stuff, we are lucky to have gotten this promo for a 3X 12" vinyl release. Awesome, epic, righteous, beautiful.
