"This is West Coast avant-garde - a little world music, some free improv, even a bit of rock and roll...it reminds one a lot of that downtown NYC thing, but with more coherence." --Option Magazine

"There are tracks which are hard and fast, short and sour, and some gear stripping changes of pace and direction..." --The Wire

Recorded direct to DAT, August 30 and 31, 1989, at Differenty Fur Studios, San Francisco; Howard Johnston: engineer. Photos by Ed Rachles.

"When the musicians play together each goes his own way, but they meet from time to time." Cambodian saying
