Old Friends by Jerkatorium featuring Micah Sommersmith

A guitar, whistling, finger snaps, and a catchy lyric ("It's just a matter of time 'til the clock strikes catastrophe. It's a little sublime to think that it all depends on me"). What more could you want in Freedom Fighter?

Marx taught a satanic doctrine, Lenine applied it and Stalin consolidated the system by Children For Breakfast

Marx taught a satanic doctrine, Lenine applied it and Stalin consolidated the system. It's a bold assertion and a long, winding title for a winding experimental track.

The Broken Mirror Of Memory, Part 1 by Paul Cantrell and Patrick O'Keefe

The Broken Mirror of Memory was my first introduction to Paul Cantrell's music, and it really puts his best foot forward. It starts out aggressive, almost thundering, and then it opens up and calms down. O'Keefe's clarinet adds a layer of mystery around the whole thing.
