"Stream of Unconsciousness" is a musical experience like the kind you had when you first listened to 'Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' or Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'...Smith has an astonishing range of talent." - Cake Magazine

I recorded this album as a teenager on a cassette 4-track in bedrooms, basements, and school band rooms performing all instruments and vocals. Or at least I was trying! A local record store labeled it "homemade hippy punk"-- that seems like a fitting description. It was one of the first releases on Hygh Tension Records, and now it is available in its original form and entirety. For better or worse, I am letting everyone hear this now since it disappeared from record stores years ago. I hope you enjoy it!
