Shoko from The Mistakes by The Mistakes: Mike Keneally, Henry Kaiser, Prairie Prince, Andy West

(music – The Mistakes; lyrics – Keneally)
The first part is from the same Kaiser Synclavier sequence excerpted for the middle section of “Transmogrification of Chili”. The whole piece is, I believe, over twenty minutes long, and is entitled “Shoko” (from which this little snippet got its name). The portion I used here crossfades into another short piece, originally entitled “Game The Game”, which foreshadows the lyrics of “Assembly Language”. This section was built atop another Andy/Prairie bass/drum improv.

HK – Synclavier on part one, squeal guitar in left speaker on part two
MK – vocals, grunge guitar in unison with grunge Wurlitzer
PP – drums
AW – bass
