about

Recorded on a 4-track recorder in one day at Bon's house on the second last day of 2003. A return to the electronica side of Gold Star which we began and aborted in 1998. All pretty much made up on the spot when we laid down each track.

Bon later added horns which he had sampled from the Cannanes horns section playing on his own solo album as The Baby Bees. For some reason, the volume is quieter on the Horns Mix. Go figure?
