about

Our 6th session was recorded on the 13th July 2006, once again in Ian’s comfy lounge room onto the Teac 4 track cassette recorder.

A fairly lengthy period of non-band activity afterwards (and our very first live performance) ensured that we came back to the recordings with some degree of freshness. Surprisingly, very little needed to be done to pull the good sections into form but Rob weaved some magic as well at the Acid controls. This final mix was completed in early December.

There seems to be less emphasis on drones and long phrases this time round, replaced instead by scratchier tones and a willingness to confuse and confound ourselves.

Track 4 - The Court on The Left - has been omitted as it is part of the Endgame 2CD compilation "For The Time Being".
