I listened to ONE WORD EXTINGUISHER for the first time
this weekend (a CD I've had for a few months but never
played it) after being given the EXTINGUISHED
OUTTAKES. People have been saying "so these are his
throwaway beats"? It's a toss-off EP, but for anyone
who is into Prefuse 73, I highly recommend it.
