Track Listings

CD1: JurassiKc THRAK

JurassiKc THRAK is an assemblage of material from the recording sessions for the album compiled by David Singleton - similar to ’Keep That One Nick’ on the Larks’ Tongues Boxed set - placing the listener in the studio with the band as the material was composed and recorded. You can, for example, hear the band experimenting with different drums parts for "Inner Garden" & a wonderful early vocal before that song was divided into two. Similar excitements await listeners with all the other songs. There are also seven pieces that didn’t make it onto the final album.

  1. JurassiKc THRAK

CD2: Maximum VROOOM

Max VROOOM features the long-unavailable mini-album VROOOM, augmented with tracks & edits from the KC Club release: The VROOOM Sessions. All material re-compiled & remastered at DGM.

CD4: ATTAKcATHRAK (The Vicar's THRAK)

ATTAKcATHRAK is a sort of sequel to THRaKaTTaK insofar as it’s assembled from live improvs, but simultaneously very different. One of David Singleton’s best pieces of production, the editing process for the new improv album provides more form and function to the material without compromising the spirit of the original improvs.

Unlike THRaKaTTaK, which was based on stereo board recordings, this album is newly mixed in both stereo and surround sound from multi-track tapes.
