Nice to see this topic! Thanks!
It seems that alot of favorite sounds are muffled, distant, in another room, etc... kinda ironic, isn't it? ;-)

p.s. there are plenty of copies of the book left...

that the tracks are so short and to the point.

Thanks Ralph! We wanted to make a droney, experimental record, but with songs instead of overlong pieces....
