This highly acclaimed release further solidified the Chicago collective's mastery of rhythm-focused post-rock. Built around a dub-inflected bassline and intricate vibraphone patterns, the sprawling title track perfectly demonstrates their ability to seamlessly merge krautrock repetition with organic jazz instrumentation. It acted as an essential sonic stepping stone toward their landmark album, 'Millions Now Living Will Never Die'.
