This album was all recorded and written in a month. If you go to the site you can download the whole lot (10 songs). Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Everything on the album was played and recorded by me using the following:
AXL analogue delay pedal
Boss LS-2 line selector pedal
Bush FM/AM/LW sports radio
Cables and leads
Carlsboro Pro-Series B1-200 bass amp
Digitech X-Series digital delay pedal
E-Bow
EKO 12-string acoustic
Fostex VF160 digital multitracker
Marshall practice amp
Musicman bass
Pearl cymbals
Pro Co Turbo Rat pedal
Rickenbacker 360 copy (by Tokai)
Seymour Duncan humbucker pickup
Shure SM58 mic
Telecaster copy, with humbuckers (by some dude in Japan 30 years ago)
Yamaha AN200 analogue synthesizer
Yamaha DTXpress drums
Zoom 504-II (for tuning)
I bent my rules a little by using two ideas I'd had kicking around for a long while but never really used.
However, all of these were new recordings and in fact everything on the album ended up being recorded live,
even the stuff I could reasonable have cut and pasted or programmed. This was down to laziness more than
anything else.
Most tracks were recorded quickly and the first take was often the one uses. Occaisionally I would write
something that was hard for me to play and forced many retakes just to get a half-decent version, and you'll
hear this in the many bum notes, mistakes and slighty timing issues on all tracks. I did try to fix as many of
these as possible but part of the time limit was to get over a desire for perfection.
