   Their first bastard-child of influences was a rare cassette of demos titled Hype City Soundtrack, whose low-fidelity sketches of neo-psychedelic fuzz, folk-rock, and musique concrete were contrived as a means to be as experimental as bands like Faust and Royal Trux with Bob Dylan's surreal lyrics and grating melody. 

   The Everything Is single eventually became a 4-track EP with its CD release in 2001. (1995 version with Tuesday Moon from Hype City).
