synthdude is an experimental knob-twiddler who tries to fuse disparate elements in his original electronic excursions which thrive on atmospherics and utilize analogue synthesizers. Most of the tracks featured here are rough and rather flawed early mixes from his 2004 album 'Home Of The Knave, Land Of The Flea'.
