*** New Release 2009! ***
Razzmatazz is the second release from Tainted By Trolls. This album includes a collection of songs that was written between 2004 - 2008. This is a further refinement of Shane's studio skills and his best sounding album to date. The music is a dense layered collection of songs that stakes a claim in psychedelic, metal, ecectronic and trance music. The results are an amalagamation of the music that Shane has been influenced by and a densely layered work that will take several listens to fully digest.
For fans of layered, textural guitar and electronic music.

The Magic 8 Ball Lies is essentially a double album's worth of material culminated by the band between the years of 2001 - 2004. The album was recorded in El Cerrito in Shane's then Pro Tools environment. Though there is earlier YIU material, this was the first and only official release. This music is all live and much of it was improvised. Some was molded out of improvised jams. This album features the musicianship of Shane Otis on guitar, some synth, some bass, production, Jim Jeha playing live electronic drums, Carl Stanley on bass, & Lawrence Hoffman on synthesizers. This album was created on G3/G4, marked that transition and utilized Pro Tools primarily for digital software and the Ramsa DA-7 for most of the album's dynamics and EQ.
