Chuck Johnson may be known for beautiful solo guitar playing these days, but in college he was the main man in Spatula.  They were down and played with all of the bigs from the nineties Chapel Hill music scene, but they were always a little outside, a little different from what those bands were playing.  It was indie rock, but there were always eastern flavors thrown in, tinges of math rock, world music, and of course great guitar playing.  Anyways, they were great, this record is great, tony the tiger is great.  Three songs total here, all of them gems, and none seemingly on any of their records, making this a must have for a fan like myself.
