Tadlock-These Violent Delights (SP)-3M/Desk bells/opt. B/opt. C/P

These Violent Delights by John Tadlock is a quartet that experiments in control and chaos. Each section offers just enough time to feel the groove before slowly devolving into a jumbled mess, then suddenly everything stops and begins again.
