Playing the headphone game (see the review of Swayzak elsewhere this issue) with this, I discovered that the first track, “DD,” reminds me eerily of the sounds I make when I’m at the dentist’s office, and there’s nothing to do except make squeaky sounds with the spittle sucker. Headphones on, it’s a rougher sort of noise. Some people can get into twenty minutes of this “music.” The rest of you can only wonder how.
The second (and only other track) starts like three hundred car alarms as heard across the Mississippi. Gentle Giant Records, P.O. Box 50013, Kalamazoo, MI 49005; gengiant@aol.com
