what the buzzing
Released September 14, 2004 on Bomp!/The Committee to Keep Music Evil (Evil-12)

FROM THE BOMP! WEB SITE:
"The latest release from The Committee to Keep Music Evil is a seductively spellbinding band from O-high-o. Exploring the realms of psychedelia, space rock and experimentalism, Floorian has conjured its own unique style of darkly melodic, hypnotic drone rock. While not easy to describe, these excursions are very easy to space out to, filled with mind-stretching sounds and textures... yet they also spend a considerable amount of time rocking out."

NOTES:
Spacial thanks to greg shaw, anton newcombe, chris nye at blue moon studios, jeff graham, chris forbes, trent & natalie at olentangy indian caverns, our families + friends, and too many great bands to list here... our infinite gratitude for helping to make this happen.

and praise be to jerry kranitz, phil mcmullen, tony dale, mats gustafsson, nick bensen, george parsons, alie & betti @ psychedelic-music.net, matt shimmer, jim santo, ed hardy, andy garibaldi, pete @ drugmusic.com, valis, ben vendetta, scott cole and everyone else who may dig what we do.
