Sam Renner This is fantastic. I believe listening to "Watchmaker's Apprentice" was the first time I felt compelled to do a sort of angry waltz around my apartment. Fine, fine work.

It is to our great chagrin that the beast that is the steamdrone is powered on the inside by electronics. It was long the intention that it be actually coal powered, but producing a reliable, let alone useful sound proved elusive, so we shelved that particular avenue of research for a while.
