VINYL FORMAT. Avant-garde noise mongers Black Dice follow up last year's acclaimed "Beaches & Canyons" and "Cone Toaster" 12" with this two-track EP (a teaser to their full-length due June 2004). Clocking in at a hearty 28 minutes, it's bound to please and confound fans and critics alike, as the band proves once again that whatever they tackle, it's on their own terms. "Miles of Smiles" was originally created for The Poetry of Sex art exhibit in Tokyo and finds the band exploring a Musique Concrete-like world of chance and surprise. The flip side "Trip Dude Delay" has been a live staple for years.
