Recorded direct to digital 26 May, 28 July & 18 August at Tachyon Studio.
Mixed 24-26 August 2008 by Alan.

Alan Freeman: guitar, guitar-synth, synths, violin, computer samples & loops, etc.
Steve Freeman: bass, guitar, sounds & loops, turntable, synths, acoustic CD, cymbal, etc.
Dave Powell: hurdy-gurdy, flute, violin, clarinet, bells, Stylophone, glockenspiel, etc.

All the best and/or very different stuff from three mammoth sessions, a lot of it pretty radical and challenging - it could be seen as a huge 158 minute Triax "Faust Tapes" lots of "rock" rhythmic drives, sizzling electronic overloads, freaky guitars, and the buzzing backbone of Triax Dave's hurdy-gurdy. Yet here Dave's becoming a one man band within the band, adding yet another instrument to his repertoire: clarinet!
