Back in 2012 when we were starting to write as a full band for the first time, we decided we needed to have a recording of the songs we were playing together as up till then the only music available for fans was the weird experimental music ala Wrinngarth EP, Magician's Alliance. This led us to setting up some mics in our practice space and Jamming on some of the material we had been working on for our first show. The following recordings were done in one take, captured on cheap microphones and mixed down on freeware. However these songs are the very first recordings of us as a band and are absolutely part of our history, now available for you all to listen to.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia.
