Fugue State - From Here

An unreleased version of Go! from way back. KO was a collaboration between D. Smith (Opiate Receptor) and Al Warr (Krush-r) that I was invited to join sometime around 2000. We released an album on DSBP, then circumstances kept us from doing more stuff together.

Krushed Opiates - Go! (Mild Violence Mix - c. 1999)

This is an earlier version of the track that would later become "Flinstones Chewable Morphine", which appeared on the KO release Driving the Two-Dimensional Highway. D. & I passed it back & forth a couple of times before we also sent it to Al, iirc this was the last version before Al got in on it.

Krushed Opiates - What? (early version of Flintstones Chewable Morphine)

remix of Clear, which was a track that appeared on the album Pleasure, Pain, and Distraction.

Skin Contact - Clear (Resolution Mix)

A collaboration with Riki Rezinunts of Gross National Produkt from around 2000.

Cogitate - Phantography (c. 2000)

An outtake of sorts from recent recording sessions for the upcoming Skin Contact album. Guitar, bass, and heavily-processed vocals.

Skin Contact - Release

A remix of the excellent cover Stoneburner and Out Out did of Consolidated's 1994 pro-choice anthem. How sad that it has become more relevant again.
