We spent several months recording the cd as well as playing NBA jam
and feeding the magpies at Wangers.  Many of the sessions were
arduous post-binge battles, but we were extremely pleased with the
final flowering fruit of our labours.

   Sometimes the songs materialise out of thin air in an
almost-complete form while we jam.  Sometimes they take months of
subtle alterations and philosophical analysis before they are
complete.  Sometimes time just goes by, like a cheeeese pie.
