Avant-fusion, led by guitar and guitar synth and backed by forests of keyboards. A surreal sci-fi feeling throughout. Lots of crazy sounds and plenty of wild abandon.

1- Slow, w/Harley-buzzing sounds(?). Develops a slow kind of sci-fi/rock vibe
2- Slow, w/out-of-time guitar screeches over pattering beat
3- Strong flowing, a chaotic current of sounds. By -8:00 (about halfway), it slows to a calm, slow, nearly funky grooving.
4- Whoa, thick synth & searing guitar, kinda fusiony but experimental
5- Tricky fast piano and guitar, jazzy.
6- Fast but sparse, with halting piano stabs. Again, quite jazzy.
7- Midtempo with staggering flashes of synth and garbled vocal sample. Steadies into almost conventional fusion. Ends quietly.
8- Floating, calm, abstract. With airy synths and free-jazzy piano
9- Wild floaty jam topped by fast guitar-hero soloing
