A variety of noisy avant-garde stuff from local label Edgetone. Expect rock beats, catchy guitar, noisy guitar, and some Sonny Sharrock-style free jazz. Something for everybody!

1- Blaring guitar sounds, a clarion call.
2- Intense: Fast-scrabble guitar, thunderous drums, feedback. Second half quieter but has a pretty loud drum solo.
3- Acoustic improv: sax, cello, drums. Fairly low key with mid/fast sax wanderings.
4- Avant-rock with a nice, sinister beat. Springy guitar sounds dissolve into spacey effects
5- Drums and cymbals, joined by super angry overblown sax. Lo fi sound, like an archival recording.
6- Ecstatic free jazz heavy in electronic effects. Echoey sax, rhythmic electronics squeaks, liquidy electric bass.
7- Sax: Loud and screaming, and then the thundering electronics wall comes in
8- Heavy, thumping instrumental rock. Live track. Energetic and slowish.
9- Lo-fi noise, a screeching/rumbling of guitar feedback and theremin (and bass and drums, apparently).
