Review:
“The combined work of nine artists, this is a tape of torture-chamber rattlings and sonic effects perfect for late night ruminations. Often it conjures up pictures of the boiler room in some derelict starship, while at times echoing scenes out of the Alien movie trilogy, particularly the one where the monks worship in the abandoned prison. Late into side two listeners will be startled, however, by a tribal stomping of “Feelings,” which, believe it or not, sounds very right at that point. Don’t ask me why. This tape may unsettle you, and I think Geoff and company would like it that way.”
