The bay area’s rock jammers. This album includes live tracks, radio appearances and other goods otherwise unavailable. I don’t think this album was/will be officially released. Long spacey psychy rock jams, great guitars, distortion, fun. Mostly no vox or heavily distorted pushed-back vox. All good, but 6 is cut off right when it picks up so you can skip it.

1. [9:38] Delicate guitar picking quickly morphed by long psychedelic distorted loud jam. Recorded live at WFMU.
2. [24:20] Quiet start with guitar/drum exploration, quickly building into a loud jam. Slows down again around –10:00.
3. [16:47] Starts off jangly and bouncy. Driving rhythm, guitar explosions. Becomes really quite and minimal. Recorded @ WMBR.
4. [11:15] Fades in. Powerful jam.
5. Short [3:22]. Oscillator solo. Some sparse drum action.
6. Short [3:30]. Bluesy lo-fi jam, cut in the middle of the track. Literally, they ran out of tape during a live show.
