| "this is a tape of cut-ups, which are little tiny samples from various music sources all spliced together to make a larger work. there is an underlying rhythmic beat to give it a sense of music. some of the sources are recognizable and they are quite varied. this something very different. not noise, really, something completely artistic."
-Scott Hatch, BURNT TOAST

| "No track listing is offered with this cassette, but each piece is very similar in style, so that's OK. It sounds like they took some old records, scratched them up, then recorded the results of their handiwork. Sometimes a couple of these skipping sound experiments are layered over one another, sometimes they are augmented with an appropriate beat, and sometimes other audio oddities are thrown into the mix (one track has a bunch of old Atari game sounds). One would think that the result of all this would be mass chaos, but it's actually quite listenable. Some of the most interesting experimental music in the genre."

| "...Next is the most creative song on the compilation called "Lumps of
Coal" by Signalbleed. Picture a coal-powered locomotive speeding down a track in winter while the tower bells from nearby churches ring out an
oddly familiar Christmas carol. This song has broadened my understanding and interest of the capabilities of experimental noise bands."
-Richard Maaranen, BALLISTIC TEST
|
| "The nicest surprise (on ETF) has to be "Signal Bleed" by Lumps of Coal which was recorded in Jason Hevener's bedroom. Through the heavily layered mix you can hear church bells tolling a christmas carol."

| "Signalbleed provides one of the best chaotic tracks on the CD. Their track is appropriately named "Broken Transmitter." The music resembles just that in a mesh of various distortions."
-Scott, GRINDING INTO EMPTINESS
