about

written and recorded onto a tascam 4 track over two weeks during the summer of 1996 in a boathouse on lake Simcoe with a few overdubs afterwards. Distributed at Christmas 1996 this probably my most well traveled project. At least as far as I've been contacted copies have made it as far as China, Japan, Israel, Greece and throughout Canada and the US. With all it's glorious imperfections this is the first time it's been released in it's entirety on the net.
