After the break-up (or more accurately, slow-fade-away) of The Huxlian Reduction Valve, Devin and Eric got together with the former rhythm section of another band to form Entropy. These are improv jam sessions that are pretty cool, and the recording is generally okay, just a little noisy or muddy most of the time. I actually have an older Entropy demo around here somewhere with a song called Orange Bang, among others, but I can't seem to find it.

Song List:

  1. Naivete
  2. Empty Bag
  3. Let It Go

Eventually Eric dropped out of the mix, and the resulting improv three-piece was amazing at the few shows I saw. But it didn't last. I still keep in touch with Devin, because I know his future projects are sure to be just as great. Mark Stanton managed to make a much clearer recording here with a much fuller mix, but it's still a little too muddy to be called more than a really good demo. Maybe that's unfair, because I have heard really badly recorded albums get on the radio plenty of times.

Devin continues on as a solo artist, but with most of these people performing with him in various arrangements live and in studio.
