Can't make it to far without you reminding that it's not squared and we're nowhere But I'm catching signs from the primitive design's end And it's taken We're not making it too far, oh I know.

tragic takes flight over-under-horizon we lurch to larynx beat (of all-time recital) they have overborne their continents. halos crushed under elements my couplet, a crucial distinction between two modes I had exactly the same hallucination !!! I had exactly the same hallucination !!! Astounding!!! Amazing Maybe just ghost emulator, part 2 you cannot text ghostbusters there's some horrible business left for him to attend to: Something unpleasant there's some horrible business left for him to attend to: Preservation issues and all of, since that's not very realistic. also what the scalper situation was like intrusion against invalid partition monad. invalid partition monad. partition! partition I say she exclaimed "the boat was in peril" litigation the familiar discourse of the shaven headed youth shuriken are an international highway project under asio watchdog wiretap. inactive for centuries like the rip van winkle of some tropic volcano

about

This is a collation of disasterpieces over several years of bedroom noodling. some became shuriken "full band" songs, most were left on hard drives undernourished.

as a whole I guess it is a haphazard minefield of guitar opportunities that never got to flourish. Ditties recorded solo on dictaphone/4track/computer/mobile phones etc. It's probably best these remained mainly instrumental demos, there's something about the initial spark of an idea that never gets carried on sometimes. I've had my back turned on this stuff for so long it seems actually kind've "cool" to me now. lo-fi is in again now isn't it? enjoy sifting thru the sketchbook of tonal garbage and songs that might have been. but yet here they are.
-M.R.

ps factual notekeepers, the first track on here is not only the lone number that is performed by all 5 members of the groop, but is also the intro to the first song we ever played. it seemed right to start/fade from that point.
