Private CDR issues by a guy named Brian Nolan. The Hard Orange X-tet is a made-up "band" Nolan hides behind. Don't hide Brian! Come on out! This music is fantastic through-composed progressive of the highest calibre. The only real comparison worth making is Frank Zappa's "Jazz From Hell". Intricate music that touches on 'jazz' , 'rock' , 'modern classical' and more! If Zappa's serious music is your bag then check these out!! Both releases are very well-done with full color covers & tray cards and color labels on the discs!
