Play on hypersongs

Recorded by Nelson and Brown alone in a Richmond hall in 1993, it opens Prazision, and so opens the Kranky catalogue. It begins with washes of static and builds through layers of synthesizer and found sound; Textura heard phantom tones stretched over grimy industrial loops. When Donne joined, the band started again and dropped the early material from their sets, and no live performance is logged.
