NOTES:

  • From the ninth volume of the "In The Fishtank" series that pairs up artists and gives them a limited amount of time to produce some type of collaborative soundwaves, which are subsequently released in EP form. Sonic Youth (minus Kim) teamed up with members of The Ex and I.C.P. (Instant Composers Pool) while on tour in Amsterdam during the "Goodbye 20th Century" tour on June 12th and 13th, 2001. The result is 8 tracks of wild freeform creation featuring no fewer than 10 participants (Thurston, Lee, Steve, Jim, and William Winant from Sonic Youth, Wolter Wierbos, Ab Baars, and Han Bennink of I.C.P., and Terrie & Luc Ex).
  • It's difficult to say which of the 10 players appear on each song, but here's a general rundown of who plays what:

    Lee - gtr
    Thurston - gtr
    Steve - drums
    Jim - electronics
    William Winant - percussion
    Wolter Wierbos - trombone
    Ab Baars - reeds
    Han Bennink - drums
    Terrie Ex - guitar
    Luc Ex - bass
