    With a name like that, I had no idea what to expect. A long, monotonous guitar part, with an equally repetitious bass, shrouds the thoughtful spoken word on the first side ("Left Cold"). The second side, "Look Inside," is actually a pleasant song, rooted deep in the underground, and like with most 7-inches, it goes without saying that you'll probably never hear this on the radio. Soft and smooth, with an airy female vocal, the song is tenuously interrupted by Tim McCready's tormented shouting and guitar playing. Pretty neat.
