After Rage-a-holic Tortise broke up I felt the need to try to make some RahT-ish songs, as well as dabbling with melody and intelligent ambience.
The result was a pretty messy and unsuccessful project.

Why would I put such an abomination on the internet for all to hear then?

Well.. the answer is quite simple:

1. I figure some people are curious to see what my first completed solo album was like.

2. I want other aspiring musicians that have cited my work as an inspiration to see that whatever they see in my music as inspirational didn't just appear, it developed.

3. The CD isn't really good at all, but it has it's moments and it is still a heartfelt expression of how I felt back then.

4. I have a stupid sense of humor
