A point of irony, in that nothing is really obvious in this strange potpourri of sound environments, vignettes and reconstructed improvisations. There are clues in some of the titles, yet some are just word/mind games. That's the spirit of Endgame, right down to the surprisingly tense and powerful "Existentialist Surrealistic Meditation".
