The Darkroom was the main High Knee recording studio, located in the basement of a decrepit house at 631 N. 24th Street, Lincoln, Nebraska. It was in use from 1995 to 1998, and a lot of 'classics' were recorded there: The first three MCMS albums; large parts of the third and fourth Think albums (Warm Fuzzies & Cold Pricklies; The Drift); Duo by Io; Mad Peeps by Dawn Rickles, Cheyntara's ^^^^^^^^^^66666^^^^^^^^^, large parts of Matt Silcock's eponymous release on Public Eyesore.....and more.

"U.S. Scientists" (excerpt)
Remix of tape scraps from a short-lived band.

"Dawn's Theme"
Contains elements of "Midnight Rider" by Gregg Allman

"It Is Indeed Hard To Dream By Committee" (excerpt)
Rickles vs. Layton again, indeed finding it hard to dream by committee.

Bits from cassettes you buy at thrift stores are the best intros for crazy noise jams.

"Special Noise Track"

Conducted by Kevin Gregorius, live on KRNU (Lincoln, NE) back in....1994?

"It Was a Nightmare....on MY Street!!!"
