Small Cruel Party's work is focused on the inherent mysterious and beautiful quality of sound itself. Manipulation of physical objects in acoustic space and a great deal of concentrated activity. Even in pieces involving dense sound at high volume the resultant effect is one of intense calm.

The material here ranges from abstract sound art, to lo-fi noisy rhythmic loops, to otherworldly yet delicate experiments. Recorded in Chicago and Seattle, the four tracks on this record all date from the late 1980's and predate any officially released material. The pieces were originally privately released on cassette in micro-editions of 5 to 7 copies and given to friends.
