Hypnotic buzz and swirling ghostly tones, a vortex of haunting sound for one to fall into.  One extended guitar-based soundscape from the aptly named Skrow! newcomer, known in other circles as shawn phase of temp sound solutions, who had this to say about the work:

“27 minutes of prepared guitar by yours truly. steinbererish koa/graphite into behringer v-amp2, operating table, fan/duster recorded/postrecorded directly to sony tc-570 3 head reel to reel and digital hdd simultaneously. monitored and recorded in stereo using univox/lafayette 80 watt quadraphonic hifi stereo system and randall 150w amp ran to a 4×12″ speaker to simulate stereo effects.

thanks to sony, sanyo fans, the luthier that made my guitar, the skrow family for embracing my weirder side.”

Dark meditations for dark minds.  Headphones required.
