Track one, “2X2,” was recorded by Alex LaRoche at Under The Couch (GA Tech, Atlanta). It was supposed to be included on a compilation to benefit Human Rights Watch that was going to be put out by some hardcore label (burning something?) in New Orleans (No Toxin III, though) but was never released. Call me crazy but I think Human Rights Watch would benefit more if you just gave them all of the money it takes to print a thousand CDs than the profits from the 300 CDs that actually sold. I like comps though.

Tracks 2 – 17 recorded live to minidisc 1999 and 2000. I prefer this version of Unloaded to the album version.

Ultivac was James Joyce (Sonn Av Krusher, Noot d’ Noot) on drums, Benjamin Lukens (The Forever War) on bass, and Jon Lukens (me, Retconned) on vocals and electronics. We were together from 1999 until about 2001. I was living in NYC and James and Ben were in ATL, so band practice, etc. was difficult. We played two shows: one at the old Eyedrum and one at MJQ.

Given some of the (over) reactions to the lyrics of Unhappenings, I shudder to think what sort of nonsense we’d find in our record reviews if the Ultivac cd were released today.
