Intensity

Mob Rule - 6/13/02 - 6:47 An Improv from the Art Gallery Rehearsals; an eerie intro from a 15:00 piece that has some fine guitar and violin with a chilling back drop by everyone.
	The Iridium Layer - 6/13/02 - 7:00 A basement rehearsal version of a track off our latest CD "It All Starts Tomorrow". We are trying to replicate favorite cuts and pieces of Improv for live performance. It captures the spirit of it pretty well.
Soft and Pliable (House Ain't Burnin' Down) - 7/10/02 - 8:30 Back in the basement with renewed vigor we quickly go back to business with this call and answer classic. It features an unscheduled appearance by Compresso X.
	Infinite - 7/10/02 - 5:15 A melodic guitar hook leads us to Infinity. It's nice to be back home again.
The Marshall Plan - Recorded 4/25/02 - 8:10 A middle section lifted out of a more extended piece. This part finds us in a pensive mood, but with chaos always within reach. Fine guitar by Jim.
	Onions & Garlic - Recorded 4/25/02 - 6:10 Two favorite additions. We find a solid base and Jim goes over it with a melodic hook. A particularly garlicy intro by Sergei.
Fainting Goats - Recorded 5/2/02 - 5:10 A nice relaxing touch, with soothing vocals by Pat, pulsating bass by Butch. Enough to make a goat faint.
	Wisconsin - Recorded 5/2/02 - 9:30 A tribute to our nearest neighbor to the North. The land of Beer, Brats, Brewers and Cheese. We found the perfect inspiration from Sergei and Jim, especially Sergei, who works over a new signal processor with reckless abandon.
Harmonious Rex - Recorded 7/19/01 - 8:00 An Ambitious undertaking for the first night in the studio. We seem to be a bit tentative at first but the soothing sound of Pat's harmonica brings it all into focus. Stay tuned for parts II and III coming soon. Not available on the upcoming CD.

Harmonious Rex Part 2 - 4:22, Part 3 - 6:10, Part 4 - 4:40 The second piece was recorded at Available Groove Shack. The harmonica has been shuttled to the background as guitar, bass, and violin take the forefront. Part 3 ends on a somewhat moody theme. Part 4 brings the resolution this piece needs.	2

	Skeleton - 5:55 - Recorded 2/11/02 A menacing bass, snappy percussion, a difficult to decipher melody. When you look under the outer layers, you find the "Skeleton".
Twist of Fate - 5:46 - Recorded 1/17/02 Here we visit one of our favorite sites. The disturbing overview and Pat's plaintive cries, create a groove of immense proportions. A tribute to race car drivers everywhere.
	Arrival - Time: 3:28 - Recorded 1-9-02 Arrival was done during a break. Jim and Sergei began a duet with guitar synthesizer and violin. The recorder was turned on (tape being relatively inexpensive) and out came "Arrival'.
Tale Spin - Recorded 2-7-02 Time 9:15 Part 2 - (Exerpt) A recent session from the basement. In fact, at this writing, our last session, driving home our point with reckless abandon. Sometime the old influences just percolate to the surface. Stay tuned!
	No Clean Pants - Recorded x-x-98 Time 9:45 Another "Classic" INTENSITY! piece, taken from the Spring and Summer of 1998. This piece features Pat Ross' singing and hotmonica. It is a snappy reminder of just how fortunate we are.
Toe of the Camel - Recorded 5-24-95 Time 7:40 This "Classic" INTENSITY! cut features the semi-revolving lineup: Sergei - Violin, Butch - Bass, Pat - Synthesizer, Steve - Drums, Jim - Guitar, Bill Douglas - Percussion, Roberto Nache - Vocals. Toe of the Camel is one of our more loopy number with noodling synthesizer and lots of hootin' and hollerin'. Roberto's clinical yet passionate reading of female sexuality is definitely a "Classic".
	Lost & Found Recorded 7/26/01 5:43 This "Lost" version of this piece which has now been found "found" is a longer differently mixed version than on our upcoming CD. "It all starts tomorrow" There is a longer intro and slightly different guitar sound, rhythmically bombastic and dense.
