All our tracks get uploaded with the default title "<i>untitled</i>" since, as a collective, we have no straightforward way of deciding on anything! We are inviting listeners to suggest more interesting titles for our pieces. If any occur to you, please leave a little review (it's easy - see the link below) in which you suggest them. You can tell us what you think of our music at the same time. Any suggested titles we like may end up getting adopted.
File names encode recording information, as follows: "010605-d2t1x2-2130to2412.mp3" would be e<b>x</b>cerpt 2 from <b>t</b>rack 1 of mini<b>d</b>isc 2 (running from 21:30 to 24:12 of that track) recorded during the session on 1<sup>st</sup> June 2005. Sessions are usually in two parts - we fill one disc, stop for tea, and then fill another disc.
