Track by Track Review
The Phasing Spider Menace Art Surf (Instrumental)
Manic pick action all over the guitar portrays a desperate attempt to escape The Phasing Spider Menace. Powerful and exotic in the rarefied sense. Scary sci-fi ethics and grumbly rumble. Very cool.
Art Surf (Instrumental)
Dramatic chords and ice flow chills, with a dangerous and menacing melody line. This is powerful in a film score kinda way, with glissandos for good measure.
Art Surf (Instrumental)
Fuzzoidal danger rising over feedback ridge on its way down the tribal highway to ever more. Spooky, powerful, and scary.

Delicate precision playful picking and a bouncy rockin' beat... "Incognito" is fun and sports fine writing. It swirls around a riff in circular patterns. Delicate damped plucking thrashing a playful riff in the same way that Monster Pete and the Chiefs can, Daikaiju drive this happy excursion home with energy and smiles. Totally enjoyable!
Art Surf (Instrumental)
Not a shred of delicacy as they pump out this hard driving number. Pure intensity! Not melodic, just assaultive.
