(3 out of 5 stars)

"This was originally a bonus disc packaged with the first 2000 copies of the "Dusk At Cubist Castle" album. It is meant to played AT THE SAME TIME as you listen to "Dusk." Start the CDs at the same time, lay back and let the amazing potpourri of sounds startle your senses. Definitely trippy.As an album by itself, well, it contains no actual songs, just a lot of ambient noises and such. It could work as a sort of surreal background track to your activities, but not much else. Hence the 3-star rating as an album.Used as intended, however...Whoa!"

Excellent with Dusk at Cubist Castle

"As a stand alone disk, this album is a little lacking since it really isn't anything more than one long, outdoor 8-track recoding but when played along with the Dusk at Cubist Castle LP, it really adds a lot of depth to the recording. I also believe that this CD is out of print since Flydaddy is no longer around. I could be mistaken though."
