Doctor Nerve - Did Sprinting Die?

This is my first physical copy of a Doctor Nerve album that I've owned (only $0.68 at a local record store's sale bin), and it's a damn good one too. The album contains 8 live tracks and 3 "computer generated pieces." I prefer the live portions (although there are several moments of unplanned feedback) to the CGPs because the MIDI instruments don't do the tracks any real favour.

The live tracks are hectic, technical avant-prog, which is not a bad thing. There are some songs that sound like free jazz, but knowing the nature of the group, I doubt that. There are also some motifs borrowed (in respect, I don't think that the group is plagiarizing) from other groups such as Mahavishnu Orchestra, Ornette Coleman, and a few others that I recognize but can't place. If you'd like a link, just PM me.
