''Free Flight Thru the Universe of Sound'' is the only official album released by [[Southern Fried Swing]], a group consisting of [[Patrick Wilson]] and Karl Koch (occasionally also including [[Pat Finn]]). It was the third of the initial three albums listed the Amorphous Records website, however it would not go up for sale until late [[2003]], at the same time as [[Dadeye]] (AR 005). It had a limited release of only 111 handmade CD copies, selling out at some point between [[2012]] and [[2016]].

The album was a product of recreational producing and songwriting undertaken by Koch and Wilson that began around [[1992]], and continued as the band toured through the 90's. The songs are far more bizarre and goofy than those found on Karlophone or [[The Special Goodness]] (the solo band of Wilson), consistently incorporating gibberish, nonsensical rap, and toilet humor, along with far more abrasive and synth-heavy instruments. The band labelled the music as "Black Metal" on their MySpace page, however this descriptor is not accurate, and was very likely a joke.

''Dadeye'' is the debut album of [[Sonnyboy]], the solo work of [[Joe Cunningham]] (who previously played sax on [[Organic Mechanic]]). It was listed at some point between August and October [[2003]], and was limited to 100 CD copies. However, while it was available for purchase through the Amorphous Records website, it was removed from the website entirely at some point between February and April of [[2004]] for unknown reasons.
''Dad Eye'' is the debut album of [[Sonnyboy]], which is the solo musical project of [[Joe Cunningham]] (who previously played saxophone with [[Organic Mechanic]]). The album was released through {{PN|Karl Koch}} record label [[Amorphous Records]] in [[2003]], sold on the label's website as well as in a number of record stores in Oregon. The album was produced in a limited quantity of 100 copies, however it is unknown how many copies were sold. Free downloads for the songs "[[What a Shame]]", "[[Step Outside Your Circle]]", and "[[The Less I Care]]" were made available on the website.


As the CD is only known to have been sold between 2003 and 2004, exclusively on Amorphous Records, it is now incredibly difficult to find information about it. There is no known official tracklisting, however the (non-functional) .mp3 downloads that were temporarily available on the site show the song names "[[What A Shame]]" (track 4), "[[Step Outside Your Circle]]" (track 6), and "[[The Less I Care]]" (track 8).  
All mentions of the album were removed from the Amorphous Records website at some point between February and April of [[2004]] for unknown reasons.
