Man I'm blown away with this. Especially serpents, the bass is insane. Don't pass this up if you ever find it in the wild.

But what does S.F. stand for? (Discogs pointless word policy)

I love to slam red vinyl, especially on the pavement. No other color has made collectors overpay for dog$hit more. This pressing, however, sounds fantastic. The depth and mastering on this release are exemplary. My complements to the chef. I'm speechless.

Anyone who loved Skinny Puppy in '88 has "Testure" memorized, but if you haven't heard these tracks do yourself a favor and check 'em out. The samples make a crisper appearance when compared to ViViSect Vi, and the phonics are incredible. Renew your appreciation for "Testure" with the different approaches taken here - you won't regret it.
