Review by Jan 17, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
A fairly good 21 minute piece and I'm kinda glad he released this as just a 3" release instead of making three tracks 20+ minutes for a normal CD, as he usually would. The track is a great mix of distorted loop noise and screeching hisses from the many guitar pedals and knob switchings he does. Not the greatest piece of noise he ever did but I think it works very well by itself as just a 3", considering a 3" CD was a fairly new thing at the time.
