about

In 1996 during a tour through Texas, we met up in Houston with Scott Ayers from the Pain Teens/Walking Timebombs, and since we were staying at his place we arranged to record with him. We set up our amps and drums in various rooms in his house, with cables snaking down the hallways, and jammed through the afternoon. That night we played together at Emo's, and recorded that show on DAT as well. Scott mixed and edited and overdubbed guitar on his recordings, and we assembled this album from those plus some portions from the live show.

This was very early SubArachnoid Space, with the original lineup. Everything was entirely improvised at the time.

Originally released in 1999 by Elsie & Jack Recordings in Michigan. Track 8 wasn't listed on the release, and was prefaced by 20:22 of silence. It was a sort of Texas in-joke that Scott slid in there!

Besides the regular release, there was a limited edition of 100 copies made with water-circles laser-etched into the front piece of the jewel box.

Looks like it is high res audio (48-24) on the "digital album" version if you download the FLAC. My half-deaf ears probably can't pick the difference from lower res, but I'll fool myself that this is better. Awesome. Doom-Desert-Doom
