In the courtyard of Vincent's Ear in Asheville, NC, Jon 7 met Amos Gaynes of VFW (Veterans of Future Wars) who was somewhat distraught that an entire hard drive full of sounds intended for use in several VFW tracks had suddenly burned out and crashed, severely corrupting over half of the files. The files were backed up onto disc, and the distress faded a bit as Jon 7 suggested that these digitally distorted sounds might be a perfect excuse for a remix project.

The entire library of sounds was named the "hyperdimensional digital disaster area" and different discs were distributed among three local technoid producers to do with what they pleased. Jon 7, probably the most hypermotivated electronic music producer in the area at the time, created this suite of 6 remixes.

The feel of these mixes doesn't stray too far from the original spirit of the component sounds, there is a heavily gothic and industrial sound to them, like a guided tour through a museum of medieval torture devices. Download and listen, but beware: distorted noises can pop out at any time!
