The comparison to Henry Cow isn't exactly uncommon. I'm totally okay with that.

At a certain point the sounds stopped emanating from my headphones, and became originated from mine own head. I can't think of a more sounder compliment.

While my neighbor's cheeky faced bull dog, Hugo, hated this, I think it's pretty awesome. Very artistic and expressive.
