the opening track of the Set It Off! CDR (2000), a barely remembered release. CDRs were wrapped in yellow paper envelopes with red text and matches and firecrackers taped to it. Distribution was we put 10 of them in the low-hanging branches of trees and cavities of damaged police boxes. Our friends didn't want any. 

The second album (recorded post-9/11, posted below) was more ambitious in it's stated aim to destroy music (on Earth) and then provide the only way forward. It was a Blue Meanies scenario, the evil robots were making the threats but we were committed to channeling the bad vibes required in the second act. 

Both of these albums had a 18 minute plus ritual track that we don't circulate any more since the incident.

Set It Off (1/yellow paper with match edition)

Interferents - Prowler

First track off the 'The Way it's Going to Happen' album, recorded in late 2001, everyone in the city was totally freaked out all the time. So the story begins and the implacable robot killers are setting out to track down the rebel humans. In subsequent tracks the forces of darkness are repelled... but can they ever be definitively vanquished?

Interferents - Excerpt from the Day of Knifeweilder (Live, unedited)

Best I can recall is C made the tape so I'd have something to play guitar against while one of us took a semester off, but also to play on the radio. This version has my contributions added. The extended coda runs through some of the new beats for Turbo Blender Man and/or indistinguishable spinoff act (for legal reasons) The Turbo Blender Man U.K..
