XIFFER - Dormant

While Andrew's hard drive is at my disposal, we might as well have at the most recent Xiffer album, Dormant. Originally intended to be a 3"cdr but after waiting around for some minidiscs to fall into his lap there were already enough songs for a full length. This has some of the funkiest moments of all Xiffer in my opinion, also some of the most patiently experimental. Enjoy.

Robot Monster - Giant's Day

This is Robot Monster's magnum opus(hahaha) concept album recorded July 21st, 2004, with roomies on tour and every inch of the 320 attic boobytrapped by all manner of broke-ass Rube Goldberg-like sound apparatus. Relates the tale of our well-meaning but ill-tempered hero Giant and his unfortunate proficiency with the metal tray. Or something like that. Of course his ass gets so owned by poisonous-flower-wielding plebs and now dutifully fertilizes 216 acres of lush Iklozhen green, with nary a marking or monument to this once-lumbering fellow in sight.
