The first-ever Chimpunk recordings. Five songs @ 15 minutes; abrupt and abrasive.

Realized in accordance with the Chimpunk Rules of Execution:

01: Instrumentation limited to exactly four elements, (i.e. drums/bass/guitar/vocals).

02: Drum part forms basis of composition and form of each song.

03: Instrumental performances extemporaneous and in real-time; first complete takes; no combining takes.

04: Instrumental performances proceed from emotional impulse, not from thinking of what to play next.

05: Audio effects are limited to those absolutely necessary.

06: Application of per-track EQ only in special, absolutely-necessary, cases.

07: Recordings presented at full duration, with no fade at beginning nor at end.

08: Recordings presented in order in which they had been created originally.

09: No per-track panning nor volume-level adjustment applied in final mixes.
