Notes

Once downloaded, the 31 tracks (ideally) should be burned onto CD (or transferred onto minidisc or stereo videotape) as one continuous piece of music (with no gaps between tracks) - the original title of the album was meant to be "Experiments in Functional Background Music" - this was a phrase taken from the excellent surrealistic book "Trout Fishing in America" by the late author Richard Brautigan - "Rockminster Abbey" is intended (basically) to be used as background music for cleaning-up around the house or washing the car. As this is being written, The Plumstead Common are collaborating with several lyricists, in the hope of putting out a version of "Rockminster Abbey" with actual words scattered inside the shell of the music. Amen.

As good as The Shatners

Subject: Good noise

These guys were in the Shatners, who I found at this site and this si good noisy instrumental rock. Layered but lo tech and pretty bitchen. A lot of tracks to get thru but some really good ones in the bunch.

Fantastic! These tunes sound at once familiar and yet totally unique. The beats are simple yet infectious, and the multi-layered guitar tracks satisfied this home-recording junkie. My kids were dancing to this stuff all day.
