notes from the taper tenfoot: 
cuts in roughly 30 seconds into the performance, as i was still fixing my levels. hella
playing as a four-piece, with the addition of a bassist and a keyboardist/vocalist. 
sometimes i like it and sometimes i dont. at its worst, sounds a bit like rush or rage 
against the machine. at its best, sounds a bit like italian freakout band infranti from 
a few years back [maybe they're even covering infranti? - see track eight]. the room is 
a strange shape - converted industrial space is almost three stories tall in places. I 
was a bit too far back trying to capture the p.a. as well, and the recording comes out 
a bit muddy as a result. still highly listenable, hella continue to tinker with the old 
favorites - keeping some in near original form and recycling bits of others into new 
works. my splits are likewise prolly totally wrong. oh well. 8.5 out of 10, quality-wise.

enjoy,
tenfoot.
