Total Time = 73:09

Surreal compositional collage with a heavy emphasis on sampled audio and processed acoustic sources. Heavily programmed, heavily signal processed, and heavily schizophrenic. 73 minutes of morphing bits of techno, jungle, ambience, synth-pop, and anything else that happened along the way. Purely experimental and often danceable at the same time. In a word: collage.

The foundation of the methods used in the construction of much of this work was inspired by the barrage of television ads that appear between the actual shows. The short 30-60 second cacaphony after cacophony that is present is strangly musical and yet utterly annoying at the same time. Many of the tracks on this disc shift quickly into other beasts after seemingly going nowhere, much like television.

Composed, performed, and produced by Eric Peacock. Additional vocals provided by Kelly Coyle & Alise Osis
