Now this is interesting, not only because it's really cool music, but the tracks here are all contributed by various drummers from bands, trying their hand at going solo. Some of the performers here include Kyle Crabtree from Shipping News, Damon Che from Don Caballeo, Simone Pace from Blonde Redhead, Pat Sampson from US Maple, and Jeremiah Green from Modest Mouse, just to name a few - and they're not just doing Led Zeppelin drum solos, either. These are all actual songs on here, from Kraftwerk-sounding, cold electronic pieces to near-acoustic instrumentals to some really spooky-sounding tribal shit.
