Started with a little guitar riff on the archtop, Played roland rs9 string synth through tremolo amp. Also has my tenor steel pan played live.

Archtop, electric guitar. No vocoder.. Not so sure on my voice for this one as I had a cold for pretty much the whole month of Feb.. Also think I put too much over all "warm plate" reverb on every track (that was a last minute RPM deadline decision)

Our first song, recorded with an inline computer speaker from a distance, so it's sound quality isn't great, but Nate's performance was. Recorded 2/26/2010

I love my wah pedal.

This is the one song I actually "wrote" ahead of time for the RPM Challenge.

When I visited London I really liked the food, especially the breakfasts.

I bought an MXR Bass d.i.+ and I really like it, which is why there's so much bass on this album.

Featuring Steve Phillips on the "Left" guitar.

I'm sure I've ripped off the opening lick from somewhere, but I can't figure out where!

In 5/4-time, in case you're wondering what's wrong with it.

I keep writing songs about communism, for some reason. I thought it was slightly amusing to discover that Mashino actually IS an industrial town. Sounds like "Machine". Get it? Get it??

A filler track, obviously. Also, I got a cowbell for Christmas...

Of course the last song is about my hometown.
