| Notes: | These recordings were made and mixed over the course of three days, at the end of a seven week long U.S. tour. We all sat in a room together and recorded live and fast. I was feeling spooked after 3 consecutive cancelled shows due to a lost voice; but nonetheless this stands as a document of the sound and arrangements of this particular touring band. (The band also featured Kate Hardin singing and playing glokenspeil, but not on these songs).
Jim Green engineered the sessions at the great PLANT studios in Sausalito, CA.
The musicians arranged all their own parts, with the partial exception of some tambura and accordion parts on "Cosmia", of which large portions were transposed and adapted (by Ryan Francesconi and Daniel Cantrell) from the original score written by Van Dyke Parks.
