Dave Powell: hurdy-gurdy, flute, Stylophone, jaw-harp, etc.

"A Surly Finalé" was actually the first track recorded here, be it seemed more like and ending, even when we did it. After that we (or, should I say - I) had problems with weird buzzing. Arghhh, perils of the misbehaving noisy computer, I couldn't locate the problem so decided to give it a rest and concentrate on guitar instead, and hence we have a very different Triax here, on the one hand back to early Triax sound, but with a wider ranging, richer, more "melodic" sound palette.
