The first side opens with distorted organ sounds, into which comes a man humming, more off-key synthesis, and various other fuzzy and discordant tones. Not pleasant listening. Variations on a Theme by Eustachio Romano #1 also begins with a synthetic assault on harmony, the various found sounds and synthesizers combining to create an alien atmosphere. The second side contains shorter pieces, all different in style but still perversely anti-musical. The lack of conventional melody and harmony makes it difficult to listen to, and I alternated been thinking that it was either pretty good avant-garde work, or the pretty awful result of some very cheap production techniques. Poor sound sources combined with deliberately nasty editing and processing, seemingly random. Only you can decide whether these ten tracks are simply too far ahead of their time for us to understand, or a complete pile of crap.
