It's F To The X - a 23-minute mixtape spanning over ten years of FIGORA and the fans who made each show crazier than the last. Bin Wah Kenobi's historic 2006 mix of parties, practices, public performances and more is slightly remastered for BandCamp release. Included are two classic FIGORA tracks for this remastered and expanded edition: the previously unreleased "Why You So Stupid?" from 1998, and "Pillfunk (Instigator vs. Kagura Mix)" previously released on Illuminance Recording's 1999 Obvious:Oblivious compilation. It's ten years of party noise, another ten years later.
