[Notes:]
- This album was originally not intended to be an experiment with
sequenced arrangements and electronic drums as it turned out to
be. Drummer Rich Hough took a trip out of state and failed to
return in time for the studio session. Taking matters into his
own hands, and with unanimous agreement from both Jeff and Kirk,
Zadoc meticulously (and quickly) programmed drum arrangements for
five songs.
- Finding a true love and respect for the power of computer
sequenced music, Zadoc delved deeper and bought himself a synthesizer.
The other two songs that appear on this recording, "Passing the
Gates" and "The Embrace" were recorded afterwards at
home as they were simple synthesizer tracks lacking the need for
guitar and bass.
- Lacking a dedicated drum machine (as well as the funds to purchase
one), Dave Huyck allowed Zadoc to sneak in and digitally sample
drums sounds from other bands that were then recording at Eastwind
Studios. Amongst the drummers Zadoc sampled was Born Again
Savages drummer I.M. Illin', who ironically would wind up drumming
for the band six years later. (Zadoc wound up happily using a
sample of Illin's bass drum for some months.)
- Unfortunately, this album got shelved prematurely as the band's
sound started to develop more of an electronic edge to it.
After a few months it was deemed that the sound on the album hardly
represented the band's live performances which was developing Gothic
overtones as opposed to the straight 80's Metal sounds of some of
the songs on the album. Therefore few copies were produced,
and still fewer probably exist.
- The cover photograph is from the band's April 8th, 1995
performance at the Lost Horizon. The cover was photocopied for
quick and cheap distribution.
