Two great combos on this LP. Thank you!

even though this made it to cd on koch after breakdown it hardly got any attention, and i love it more. a colossal album. like otto sez, two great bands that were great live (there's concert tape out there somewhere) and happily carried their greatness over to record, just such a joyful chemistry! for once, i didn't mind the back and forth between bands. great tunes. desert-island album! thanks for putting it up!

Playback on the embedded player sounds a bit slow. Is that the rip?
