Xtra Happy Considering "Mutilator Defeated At Last" is only 34 minutes long, it's strange these two were left out. Regardless, they were, and so they occupy this rather critical addendum 7" single instead.

Both tracks have a great driving force behind them with a brooding and slightly sinister tone to boot too. 'Man In A Suitcase' remains soft and eerie in the verses with its plucked guitar passages, and the final minute 'Fortress' is quite frankly transcendental in all its echoed and reverberated glory. Favorite track: Fortress.

about

Culled from the same sessions as the mighty Mutilator Defeated At Last, here we have a heavy little bit of wax for you to bite into. Fortress is backed by Man In A Suitcase, an old live favorite. 8 armed, kinetic, and racing ahead into distinctly dreamy and proggy territory, these two tracks are cut from nightmare cloth as only JPD and co. can weave, with an emphasis on the tossing and turning. A must have addendum to Mutilator, and a lovely appetizer to whet your appetite for another full length.
