Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - "Allswell That Endswell In Roswell (Excerpt #1)" - Full Length = 6:50
Complex, three-part piece beginning with ethereal melody for electric guitar and soprano saxophone, which gives way to a minimalist piano pulse, deep bass groove, and soprano solo. A bubbly solo marimba then leads to a melodic but increasingly chaotic windup from the ensemble
David Borden/Mother Mallard - "Droneland" - Full Length = 5:42
A jaunty synth pattern opens this piece, supported by a wash of drones and then a syncopated, horn-like synth melody with a strong jazz element.
