Thanks! Wow, I didn't think anyone would actually *like* that stuff, that's why I
didn't include it on the various collections that the band posted back in its day.
I also have a 29-minute clusterf*** from that same session that I'll post later
tonight.
IIRC that was unmastered. I don't remember if I decided to drop the noisy/dissonant
stuff off of the CD before or after the final mix. So that may be a scratch mix still; I
don't remember.
The drummer probably still has the original PT project; I suppose I could go get it,
import it into Ardour, and do another mix of it.
There is a lot on Archive.org from that band, most of it live:

We were very proud of our freakish-experimental-jazz Radiohead covers too, which IIRC are
still up on the band's old MySpace page (try and guess what the band's name is a
reference to).
Great fun that band was. I don't think we ever made a single penny.

This one is from the end of 2008; it is an
outtake from a "Me And My Cronies" CD.
It heavily features PHASEX in the beginning and middle, and AMS towards the end.
It is highly experimental noisy dissonant electronic jazz.

And it's 14 minutes long.
Jeeebus.... what were we thinking?
This might be a good track to clear out a party at the end of the night, when you really
wish everyone would go home.
I made it to about 3 minutes in, then I just couldn't take it anymore.
Ken,
I'm not sure whether I ever heard anything of yours before, but this
just blew me away. This is Miles-Electric'ish with a modern twist.
Fourteen minutes of guys kicking back and seriously jersking off: I
love it! If you have any more like this one, please share them. My only
complaint is that the mix is kind of opaque and really doesn't do it
justice.
I'll be keeping this track around.
