Shit-fi PSR improvisations recorded to a four track. Highlights: Track 3 features davros-style vocals, large woofy washings, and the memorable harshness of running a psr keyboard through a distortion pedal. Track 6 is another definitive one with sloppy power-electronics and boomy vocals.
Hi this is jordan, founder of broke bunnie recordings (BBR).
History: In 1998 I had been making music for a year or two with my friends in a suburb of minneapolis. The whole thing started when a co-worker at an ISP heard me listening to dance industrial and techno ... then showed me the playerpro tracker for mac. I went home and made my first tape (a locked beat layered with my amiga saying something funny). I had no musical knowledge, and it was a long while before I even figured out that beats could be put on a grid. When I wasn't making fucky off-beat tracker mistakes, I was doing vocals for a toy/trash/grind band whose performances were limited to brief episodes of terror around our school and mall. It was called "Die Bitch, Die!" ... a name I wasn't sick of after we disbanded.
So, a few months later when a friend of mine lent me his new four track for a week or two, I pounded out a half hours worth of my visions. Harsh sounds, humanized electronics struggling to keep up with each other, and my signature, haiku vocals.
Originally, I burned off around thirty copies of this onto CDR that I traded away in the mail and gave to friends. I also gave mp3s to all my online friends, mostly people in ripping groups. However, it was a pretty elite crowed of music lovers and I thought there could be people out there outside of my friends who would appreciate what I was doing (heh, yeah, i was a clueless youth ;).
I thought about putting the files on mp3.com but hated the limitations on file size/quality, advertisements, etc. I didn't know of any net labels at the time, but it seemed like a really good idea to me. So, with my ISP hook ups, I decided to start my own and put this album up as the first release.

Lyrics:
Hour 1:
waiting laying safe
the buzzing has died away
white flakes will soon reign
Hour 2:
looking appealing
the path of least resistance
leads to discomfort
Hour 3:
comfort in coldness
weary of a warm embrace
of your paradigm
Hour 4:
even with logic
following the expected
what is the limit
