"Written, played and produced by Wayne Rogers,December '95 -- July '96. Wayne's fourth solo work finds him deep in the basement at Twisted Village, moving on after his last band, Magic Hour, parted ways. Infraction is forty minutes and forty seconds of instrumental bliss. Within the forty-forty dwells eleven distinct movements, strung taut with guitar heaviness and organ overdrive. As the liner notes say, 'Surprise dumping in the lake for next year...Four strong winds from the balcony...'"

70 minute CD which collects the first 2 vinyl-only albums released under Wayne's solo aegis: 1992's Ego River and 1994's The Seven Arms of the Sun. The songs here (which roughly can be observed as his complete finished songwork between the Crystalized Movements' slow dissolve and the quick ascent of Magic Hour) are fully realized works of dark psychedelic intensity, with a full gtr/bs/drums vocal band sound that is very non bed-roomy.

"Whilst his latest quartet, Magic Hour, has been grazing on 20 minute instrumental pastures, Wayne has been recording tightly constructed songs at Twisted Village's studios. All Good Works, his 3rd solo endeavor, highlights his unique mastery of the three-minute mark. Nothing Wayne touches would be whole without pushing the limits of guitar shamanism. Those seeking to be healed will take comfort in the 8 1/2 minute title track where Wayne trades eights with himself, pied pipering his guitar demons in the mere business of saving the world."
