An excerpt from "Saint Street" has been featured on Hal McGee's Homemade Alien Music Program. Hal has been making experimental music since the early 80s, and has been an important fixture in the experimental scene around Florida and in general. His podcasts have a broad, yet cohesive reach with regard to sound as it is weaved into a sonic palette. This 21st episode is said to be his final one. Thanks Hal!

It is an intense listen, for sure. "Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded, Anatomy of Habit, Intrinsic Action)"A technicolor nightmare..." "...A cyber punk thrill ride" "...totally assaulting music without actually relinquishing the conventional rules of what music should be."Drew Dahle/Auxiliary Out"It has a good balance of minimalism and complexity."Boyd Rice/NON
