I listened to that working late by myself at night (kind of bad idea). It's a hell of a listen, very raw and unpolished but also engrossing AF at times. The assortment of different recording quality (live segments, one-take acoustic bits, more layered but still rough 4-track demos, spoken word and conversation bits) adds to it's mysterious tone and infamously obscure backstory. The background noise of the tape and certain loops used have a eerie vibe but not overtly ominous. IIRC Efrim Menuck himself had been trying to hunt it down, having lost copy himself. I'm not well versed in GSYBE! recordings beyond the well-known releases but it def sounds legit.
