Evening in Torpor was an album
recorded as a student project at Fredonia State University in around 1981
by Al Garzon
and Paul Reimer that Natalie
Merchant and Rob Buck, along with other people, were a part of. In 1988,
Al released the album
without the permission of
the performers on the album in the hopes of profiting, and a lawsuit was
filed.
There are some truly interesting
things on the album. Definately worth a listen.
