Rob gives special thanks to: the VIC for help, support, inspiration, and samples; the Bass Turd for loaning me the 4-track deck for the remix job; my family for tolerating the original recording process throughout my adolescence; all at what was once VVT (basically, Phil); you, for listening.
Guy Llama gives special thanks to: the Creator; ladies and gentlemen.
Consider using headphones (good ones!) when listening to this release.
This compilation and the original source materials were exclusively created using real computers-- IBM compatibles. "Think different." Fuck the Macintosh.
This material, once released on very cheap cassettes, was originally compiled and released as a very cheap compact disc in 1999-2000, and is now available for free, but only on the Internets.
