Reviewed 2007-08-24
Experimental, mostly noise-electronics. A difficult listen. Sounds are far from over-the-top noise. Requires patience. Instrumental. FCC clean. Picks 8,4,1.

*1-5:42) Twitchy modem lines and noisier elements. Muted in volume.
2-5:31) Different textured washes rising and falling quickly. Buzzy and croaky.
3-3:43) Piano, pedal steel guitar, bass. Very slow, classical almost.
*4-7:24) Quiet and crickety. Almost looped. The crickets grow angry over time! Ends quiet.
5-8:35) Modem sounds. Slowly changes to lower washed out tone. Last 20 sec. very quiet.
6-8:56) Piano, very slow, sus pedal. Thick chords held a long time. Ends quiet. Difficult listen.
7-1:15) Rubberbandy, swooshy, wet electronics.
**8-10:15) Bursts of sound and field recordings with bursts of silence.
