Note that we encountered him before in relation to the Chitinous here.

The absolutely gorgeous sound of Dave Richmond's Chain Saw with the bizarrely progressive patterns that weave through this short 3 minute composition just leave me in awe, at what people can create and what people can fashion into a beautiful whole:

And surprisingly there are many other great tracks on here, mostly on the first side from Dave.

Information on the second side's composer, drummer Harold Fisher here.  His Water Reactor has a great holy groove to it:
