But wanting to be-in-a-band and make loud, incoherent, unintelligible 'clone noises'

I was in a band like that once; we called ourselves Rhombus of Dooom and our old guitarist has just set up a 25th Anniversary Myspace page.

I played electric viola, though on the track Kallisti I'm playing bass. These are all live recordings and will shorty be available on CD, so I'm told. This is something I'm very proud to have been part of & after all these years the music still kicks ass.
