Satie was originally released bt Watergate Tapes in 1987 as a 90 minute cassette. It features two live performances, the first being at the East Side Club (now defunkt) in Washington DC. The last 2 tracks are from a radio performance on WMUC-FM 88.1 College Park, MD from July 1987. In between these tracks are several rehearsal recordings made a week before the East side club appreance. The instrumentation was prepared acoustic guitar, casio, modified tape deck, tapes, pocket knife, pencil sharper, bass guitar, and harmonica. NC was a trio for each performance but the lineup was slighly different for each show. The East Side show was more ambient/noise due to the keyboard, while the radio show was more brutual and harsh at times.
