The first version of this piece was performed at the New Works Gallery in Toronto. It was an amateurish attempt to throw something heavier and unexpected into the set, but I was never able to come up with a suitable arrangement (or an adequately heavy sound). This version was particularly emasculated by our crappy PA, which had to be kept at a pitifully inadequate volume in order to prevent it from constantly feeding back. Fortunately, with the recording I can turn everything up loud enough to more closely approximate what it should have sounded like. I still like the riff and am determined to find an adequate use for it someday. Absurdist doom-rock is a genre that still waits to be fully explored (although the Finnish band Circle have made some brilliant tracks that probably could be placed in that category).

My NWW collection is growing slowly...only because I have to savour Mr. Stapleton's output over time; it becomes all-consuming otherwise, I find...it is so rich that veins have to be mined deeply and with care. John Cratchley

Like eating mushrooms, Dream Memory puts the fun in fungus and the err in ergot. When SS starts introducing the band halfway into Untitled 8 you suddenly remember you're listening to a live recording. Top notch NWW. I have to mention that my FLAC download had two seconds of silence at the end of each track! This kept it from segueing seamlessly and sounding like the first time you ever burned a CDR. I was able to correct this, but the same anomally occurs on the ? download as well. Dan Otto / Don Henson
