It's not bad actually. I spent $65 for this and another copy of the IR8 demo. I figured I could sell the IR8 demo for a decent amount which would then offset the cost for the Tree Of The Sun/Blastula tape. Now I just have to get off my lazy ass and put it up on eBay.
And Monitarcturum, this tape has two projects Devin did with Jason Newsted long ago. Actually, I wouldn't call these projects. This tape and the IR8 tape are basically the result of a couple of dudes getting together, getting drunk and high, and then trying to create something close to listenable.
Newsted would then press up some tapes of these sessions and give them to friends and stuff. In that regard, the original cassettes are extremely rare. He did at one point put out an official CD with the IR8 and Sexoturica demos on it.
