The grooves are so fucking strong on the band\u2019s 1997 album, <em>Progression Through Unlearning<\/em>, thanks in part to the ferocious drumming of <strong>Timothy Redmond<\/strong>. It\u2019s an absolute perfection of style and substance.

The band\u2019s sole album clocks in at under 16 minutes, but the sheer quality makes it feel twice as long.
