Zebra Mann
Theme Song for Iconoclastic Traditionalists
For every musical taste in the world, there is a musical genre to satisfy it. Whether your music is made with precise and expensive musical instruments in a symphonic setting, a garage band, at a computer keyboard, or even just by pounding two rocks on a hollow log, there is probably a song out there that you know by heart. However, if you take those two rocks and pound them against the sides of your head, you can become your very own musical instrument and write your own theme song in the process. Of course, taking this sort of a musical journey comes with its own hazards, so please be careful. This mix is ear goggle friendly. Credits: 12 Loop Challenge. Genre: Noise.

Buzzsaw & The Shavings
The Profundity of Tempranillo
It is a compelling and dominating thought that the truest gem of Iberia not possessed by the remote and regal descendant of an Imperial strudel-eater and the nectar drawn forth from the ruby jewel is soon to be possessed, first by glass then by a revel smote with thirst. The noise of giddy salutations does ensue in a fling of corks and evolving reproach of the tasting room. Credits: Includes loops by Omnitechnomatrix, Cystem and Mental Anguish. Genre: Germcore.

David Fuglewicz
Halo Of Flies
!---!---!---!
Here's something for all you Heldon, etc fans, a song by Ambient Meat (originally released in 1996) remixified with some of Cystem's tasty, vitamin fortified three hundred and thirteen ways waves. I released this briefly in 2006 at TG but took it down, thought I'd give it another peek at yer ear sockets. Ambient Meat consisted of Marty Ashmore, Chuck Dimling and myself. They jammed on guitar and guitar synthesizer, I produced and added drums and synthesizer. Credits: Chuck Dimling: guitar, Marty Ashmore: Roland Guitar Synth, Dave Fuglewicz: Roland TR-707, ARP 2600, Cystem: guitar loops.

Zebra Mann
Ethanol Mind Meld
In a distant galaxy lies a planet called Inebria. The inhabitants of that planet are known as the Ethanoli. They have a very highly developed psi ability that allows them to subdue their enemies telepathically, rendering them helpless. The technique, which is called the Ethanol Mind Meld, causes those afflicted by it to stagger about clumsily, and also makes them prone to sing songs horribly off-key. Ear goggles are suggested strongly for this one. Credits: assorted Contagion loops from the ftp folder.. Genre: Alien Audio.

Zebra Mann
It Rained All Night
Just playing around with some bass loops, and seeing what I can come up with using my newest incarnation of Wave Pad. For some inexplicable reason, I have a fondness for the bass sound. I either need to find someone local that plays the bass, or maybe take up the instrument myself. A folder full of bass loops would keep me happy for years! Credits: Made with just 3 loops by Blind Mime; Starsweeper, Bass 2, and Bass Squeal.. Genre: Bass.

Buzzsaw & The Shavings
Restoration Tickles the Sheet of Lake Balkhash
The decline and retreat of a lake-shore is made duly sensible even to the molecules of water, instantly sensing their ruin and translation into some other matter. A conference must ensue in which these small and diminutive particles ponder a response and redress to the possible scenario descending upon them until they are later sensible that the neighbouring Aral Sea is yet in worse state. Sentience lingers thereafter but scarcely. Credits: Includes loops by Cystem and Omnitechnomatrix. Genre: Mood Music.
