I listened to all of these over the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised to find that there is no filler in any of these. I listened to the GHQ first, in light of the negative review above, this is the first GHQ recording made in a 'real' studio and sounds brilliant and clear - if you like their output last year on the 3lobed and Not Not Fun discs you'll dig this. The Tom Carter disc is a long synth drone piece that sounds to like old Jessamine to these fried ears, a welcome choice. The Bark Haze set sputters and buzzes, a Thurston side project with the noisy guitar slathering I love so much. Jack Rose turns in a pair of nice jangly finger pickins then a final dense gnarly drone not unlike his contribution on By The Fruits.... The Vanishing Voice is some interesting out-there collage work with Heidi's vocal intoning...the Holwing Rain kicks ass, juicy fried psyche that worked for me...A++
